I've been on Welbutrin for 3 days and would really like to stop now and give my baby breastmilk.I feel better and have gotten more sleep and think I should stop taking the pills.If you had been on PPD meds,how did you stop taking them?Cold turkey or weined off them?Did you have any side effects from stopping?I am going to consult my doctor but I also want your opinions.Thanks.

Oops.forgot to mention I am allergic to Celebrex(pain killer) and Prozac is related to that group of meds.

Why do you want the opinions of unnamed strangers?

I have a lovevird and he is great but needs a lot of attention and takes more time for training. I think the best starter bird would be a cockatiel. My friend has one and he is so sweet. They learn quickly and attach to you pretty early on. The daily responsibilities include feeding them seed, pellets and other nutritious things like fruit and veggies. You will need to change the water at least two times a day to make sure that there is no bacteria in the water dish. Cleaning the cage every 2 weeks has worked well for me although some would suggest once a week. You will want to spend some time with your new bird every day practicing step ups and whistles. The cost for a cage, bird, food and toys will be around $150 - $300 depending on where you get it. Make sure the bird you pick is healthy and happy. If the feathers are not looking nice then the bird may be a little depressed or not have been cared for very well at the pet shop. Hold the bird and see if there is a connection before you just pick one. Hope you find a great pet!

YOu shouldn't stop taking them unless you speak to your doctor first.
PROZAC IS SAFE TO TAKE WHILE BREASTFEEDING. I am using prozac now.
Wellbutrin for 3 days? It takes a month to get the full effect for any antidepressant.
Call your doctor to see if you can use prozac instead.
I demanded a drug that was safe to breastfeed with- or I would have skipped the drug altogether.
You need to be weaned off of the meds- but if you have only been on them for 3 days you'd have little effect.
Please do nothing until you consult a doctor and stay on a drug as well as receive therapy. Post Partum depression is not something to mess with.

You should not stop any medication that is prescribed for u cold turkey. It builds up in your system. You need to gradually reduce your amounts so your system can adjust to the change slowly.
You will do much better this way.... weening yourself.... not such a shock to your body.
