I am taking wellbutrin but I am planning to become pregnant. Is it possible to take it now and stop it in early pregnancy?

Thank you for your question!

Wellbutrin is not a first-line medication for women who want to get pregnant or those who become pregnant. However, it is an acceptable solution for people for whom other options have proven ineffective or not tolerated

It is important to keep in mind that we always try to weigh the risks and benefits of a treatment against the risks of anxiety and depression during pregnancy.

I encourage you to discuss this with your doctor as soon as possible to help you make an informed decision. Don't wait until you are pregnant to talk about it.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
