Hi. I took wellbutrin during my pregnancy with my first daughter. It is commonly used alternative to other meds during pregnancy because it's been around long enough and without a correlation to birth defects etc. The only possible downside i was warned about was that the baby may experience minor withdrawal symptoms once they are born. My daughter is 4 and she's a happy, healthy, smart kid. Hope this helps provide some reassurance.
Wellbutrin before IVF
Ladies it’s been a JOURNEY. Long story short I’m about to start IVF so I’m being weened off Xanax and placed on Wellbutrin and looking to see how women have done on this drug in pregnancy and just advice in general.
And here’s the long story -
Going on 3 years TTC, finally was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and was told IVF is the only options (bad blockage with multiple fibroids and fluid sacs on both sides - my ovaries are actually attached behind my back due to such bad scarring)
With that said - I’m terrified to start Wellbutrin a month before I start IVF. I currently take Xanax everyday which obviously is a huge NO NO in pregnancy and I would never go that route.
I’m currently tapering down my Xanax dose and today I was prescribed 150mg Wellbutrin XR along with hydroxazine and propranolol to help me come off of the Xanax (which I’ve been on since 21 and I am 33).
Just looking for people who have taken Wellbutrin during pregnancy and how your experience was. Both during pregnancy and just with the drug in general. I am extremely anxious with low energy. I’m an ER nurse with a super demanding job and so many changes at once have my head spinning. Just looking for some fellow women to confide in.
Thanks in advance
