Hi there! Thank you for this wonderful site and your efforts to helping nursing parents. We appreciate you.
I have been exclusively breastfeeding my 7 month old. I’ve been on 30 mg of Celexa my entire pregnancy and through these 7 months and, I am also newly on Bupropion aka Wellbutrin 150 xl. I’m only on day 3 of bupropion but it appears my milk supply is dipping.’ Given that this med increases dopamine, which technically attempts to block (for lack of a better description) prolactin, it makes sense that my supply would dip. Yet, how come it seems a large amount of women have an increase supply or unchanged supply while on this med?
Also, will my milk supply replenish or should I discontinue this med with the supervision of my doctor?
Thank you for your help!
