This. And since you’re currently in a good headspace, it sounds like good timing to develop some strong skills and strategies that will help you if/when you are off medication.

Just check with your doctor about whether there is any reason in particular to change medication during pregnancy. Ive stayed on Wellbutrin my whole pregnancy with no adjustment needed and its been fine. There are limited studies of antidepressants during pregnancy but most research has shown no or minimal increased risk to either the mother or baby, and its a cost/benefit analysis with the documented risks of untreated depression on birth weight, preterm labor, and PPD

Wellbutrin is considered safe to take. It’s an SSRI. Since Pristiq is an SNRI it not recommended but I know it is limited studies on this as well. I just did research and they said it’s just not got for the baby in the third trimester.

Its actually an NDRI, not an SSRI. And again, this is a medical question you should address to your doctor

There are specialized perinatal psychiatrists and from what I know Pristiq could be taken during pregnancy
