My doctor prescribed me wellbutrin to quit smoking. Has anyone taken this while pregnant? It is 150mg is that safe while pregnant? Just want to talk to others that have taken it or know a sight I can go to to find out more info. Thank you.

It reacts different for everyone. I went on it when I thought I was depressed. It did nothing for my depression, but I didn't feel like smoking much anymore, and I was up all night thinking about it. It made me have insomnia. I have heard of women taking it in they're pregnancies. If it helps, then great.

If he knew that you were pregnant and it wasn't safe he would not have prescibed it. Actually this is an anti-depressant, and most are considered safe during pregnancy (I am on Zoloft for PPDand my OB said I could continue it when I got pregnant again), but when used to help quit smoking it is called Zyban...my husband took it, and when he took it as prescribed it did help him quit.

If your doctor perscribed it then it's safe to take. I've known people that were on it to quit smoking, some it worked for and other it didn't. But, it is used very commonly to help people quit smoking.

If you have to, then do so. It's not the best thing for the baby, but niether is smoking, so I guess you kinda just trade one for the other. I've had a few friends use it. It helped them through prenancy and post-partum, but had depression. So do what you feel is right. It's your body so you willknow.
