Anyone take bupropion (Wellbutrin) during pregnancy?

Question

My ob gave me this medication for depression after I asked her about mood swings during pregnancy. It has been helping me out and I never really thought to question her judgement but my fiance was looking it up and apparently it can cause problems. Anyone with experience?

Answer

I have not taken any medication since I've gotten pregnant. I have a friend that was suffering from depression and anxiety during her 2nd pregnancy. Her doctor prescribed her antidepressants and she said it was the best thing she did. Her baby had no ill affects to the medication. I will ask her if she remembers what she took.

Answer

Studies showed no increased risk of birth defects

Answer

If she knows you're pregnant and still gave you them they will be fine. Maybe ring her and ask more about the effects it could have on you and baby and how much of a risk it really is, google isn't as accurate as a professional.
