Some anti-depressants are OK to take during pregnancy!. I was on Wellbutrin XL but was told I would have to go off it before the end of my pregnancy!. I did end up taking myself off it with my Dr help, but could of stayed on it!.
She explained to me each drug fits in a category of A, B, C, D, and X!. There are certain anti-depressants that fall in the C category including Zoloft, Prozac, and Wellbutrin XL!. Pregnancy Category C is this!.!.!.!.Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks!.
