Do Welbutrin And Atepex Cause Harm To Baby During Pregnancy?

I have been seeing a doctor for weight management for a month now. He prescribed me welbutrin and atepex. Before that i was using stackers(an over the counter diet supplement) My husband was not supposed to be able to have children. Well, I found out yesterday that our miracle baby is on the way. Will the medication that I have taken hurt my baby?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I would suggest you stop using Adipex as it is contraindicated in pregnancy. I don't believe any harm would have been caused at this point. Contact the doctor who prescribed it to check if you need to taper it off or replace it. Wellbutrin is not known to have significant effects on your pregnancy. If you intend to stop it, ensure you check in with your physician as stopping it abruptly can cause issues with your mood.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pranav Balakrishnan, General & Family Physician
