Quote From: bpwoman76Believe it or not, I am a wellbutrin XL Seroquel woman myself!
That combo has been a miracle for me and I've had it for many years.
What I do when getting ready to get preggers is taper down to 25 mg seroquel and 150 wellbutrin and then stop once I test positive. I have wellbutrin ready to go after first trimester if needed, but I did not needed either time.
I have been bitchy at times, but I have a friend who is pregnant and a lot bitchier than I am. As long as I don't get too hungry, I am ok. I actually feel very good when pregnant.
I don't watch the news and don't get into any stressful conversations.
Unfortunately, I do not much sleep at all without meds, but I have a portable DVD player and watch movies at night. It sounds bad, but I deal with it. God and I talk a lot during those late nights and I know that he is keeping baby and I safe.
I feel that he carried me through my first pregnancy and that he is carrying me now.
I did need to take seroquel prn 25 mg 2 times at month 4 and month 7 of this pregnancy, as these are times of intense hormonal surges, but that is all I needed and all docs assured me that baby is fine.
I did go back on meds immediately post partum and I did get depressed, but since I've dealt with mood swings before it was not all that bad. I think it is worse for people who have never had them.
After about 4 weeks I was fine and I hope to do as well this time.
I appreciate you sharing that with me. It is hard to find people to talk to about these things. I feel like my history with depression and bipolar ll disorder has taught me a lot about the signs and signals that I need to be attentive to. I am so glad that things have worked out well for you. It makes me very hopeful.
