Thank you so much everyone for your feedback. It means alot to me and makes me feel much better. I am going to find out about Effexor. My MD and psych doc both said effexor is okay but wellbutrin isn't. But I will double check everything.
I wonder if anyone breast feed as well. I know it can come through breast milk. I worry about the baby having withdrawals but if you took paxil and it was fine that is similar to effexor in terms of withdrawal.
Best wishes to everyone and thanks so much for writing me.
April> My doctor actually encouraged me to stay on the Paxil. He said I would have a happier pregnancy which is better for both mom and baby(ies). :)
> Do check with your doc about the safety of Effexor in pregnancy. I know Paxil was a low level risk medication for pregnancy. If you don't have to switch meds that would be best because we all know how fun switching meds is. :)
> I pray you have a safe, happy, and healthy pregnancy and baby.
