A member asked:

How can wellbutrin (bupropion) affect my breastfed newborn?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wellbutrin (bupropion) : It may not effect him at all, yet it could make him very fussy. It is not a drug that is recommended with breast feeding. You may want to discuss this with your ob/physician and see if there might be something more compatable, especially if the infant is fussy, or sleepy, or not acting himself.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
