A member asked:

I have bipolar ii and will be on lamotrogine, guanfacine and wellbutrin (bupropion) post-pregnancy. should i breastfeed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask pediatrician: Most medications come with warnings not to take when breast feeding even though the amount of drug found in the milk is very small. Your pediatrician and psychiatrist and you need to discuss the possible risks involved so you can make an informed decision.There are also risks of post partum depression if you stop your meds and breast feed.
