During a challenging chapter in her life, she found essential support through a combination of bupropion and fluoxetine. She began taking the medications while pregnant and continued through her breastfeeding journey. Contrary to common concerns, she experienced no complications and credits the treatment with helping her manage her mental health during an overwhelming time.
Looking back, she says she wishes she had started the medications even sooner. Today, she is no longer on either medication and is doing well, but she reflects on that period with gratitude for the support these antidepressants provided. For her, they were nothing short of lifesaving.
