Prozac and Concerta are contraindicated, but Wellbutrin is a different story...

Wellbutrin was Category B until a few weeks (months?) ago, and it was not moved because of any new studies. It was moved because with the new worries about SSRIs, someone looked at the same studies that said Wellbutrin was safe, and decided they weren't good enough. But until about the middle of this year, Wellbutrin was Category B.

How confident do I feel about all this? I'm still taking Wellbutrin, and wouldn't consider taking an SSRI based on what I've read.

My soon-to-be-ex pdoc, by the way, says that I'm being too cautious, and that SSRIs only result in a few days of withdrawal for the new babies. I do'nt believe that, but I do know that she's up to date on conferences, studies, etc.

Hope that helps.
