A member asked:

If i am pregnant and my husband is taking wellbutrin (category c) can it be excreted in his semen and absorbed by me during sex and therefore expose my baby to teratogens?

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist, PCP & Gynecologist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
