My OB finally convinced me to go on an anti-depressant, and she suggested Wellbutrin. I agreed, asked about safety with breastfeeding and everything, and went on it. I decided to read up on whatever studies I could find so I was informed, and what I kept seeing everywhere was that Wellbutrin was either not indicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding or was at least way far down on lists of recommended anti-depressants. When I did a little more digging to find out what the studies had to say, I found that there weren't any studies, at least not that I could find, and that everything saying that data showed a possible increase in likelihood of seizures was based on--get this, no exaggeration--one internet-based survey in which one mother was on a cocktail of depression and anxiety meds, of which Wellbutrin was one, and her baby had a single incident of something that looked kind of like a seizure but the doctors never settled on a diagnosis. That is it. It makes me want to take my Wellbutrin pill to the offices of some of the people putting out these lists and stare them down while I chew it like a SweeTart.emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445546756521231621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36650952.post-80982388876321328732011-01-26T13:51:52.710-05:002011-01-26T13:51:52.710-05:00Thanks for the advice and links!

I agree about convincing doctors that you're making an informed decision, works well with mine (regarding infertility, not drugs in pregnancy, but I hope we'll get there eventually).Ameliehttp://amelies-welt.de/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36650952.post-42485850806648667962011-01-23T16:34:52.947-05:002011-01-23T16:34:52.947-05:00love the comment about Else.vier :)
