Hi, my daughter is 10 weeks old and I have been taking Lexapro 10 mgs throughout pregnancy and since while breastfeeding. Before my pregnancy I had just started a combo of Lexapro and Wellbutrin which seemed to be working. I stopped the wellbutrin when I found out I was pregnant. I have been on Effexor in the past which worked quite well for me. My question is, is it better to add the Wellbutrin and be one the 2 medications while breastfeeding or should I switch to Effexor and just be on one since I'll be adding something new anyways. I have disscussed this with my doctor but didn't really get much of a response from her. Thanks
