Question
my doctor prescribed 150mg to increase to 300mg of Wellbutrin a day for anxiety and depression...is it safe to breastfeed my 5 month old? Thanks


Answer
I cannot give medical information, however, there are few medications that are truly not safe. I suggest you call a lactation consultant at your local hospital and ask them, and also check out www. safefetus.com

good luck!
