I am a 40 year old new mommy taking Lamictal (300mg) and Wellbutrin (150mg) for depression and am in my 12th week of pregnancy. I have done a lot of research on these meds and came to the conclusion that taking them posed less of a risk to the baby and to me than not taking them. I know that there are issues with Lamictal and seizure disorders though I have found it hard to distinguish fetal development issues separate from seizure disorders (which I understand poses some risks in itself). My concern is that the combination of the two drugs will cause problems during the pregnancy and that I won't be able to breastfeed. I know the baby will receive less of the drugs from breast milk than it's receiving now but I'm not willing to put him/her at risk once he/she is born. Can someone point me in a direction or give me some information on medication combinations? I'll take any advice I can get....
Thanks.
Thanks.
