Abstract

Background: Bupropion's efficacy for smoking cessation in pregnant women is unknown. Objectives: To determine if substance-dependent women prescribed bupropion smoked fewer cigarettes/day than those prescribed citalopram/escitalopram or no antidepressant medication. Methods: Comparison of smoking in bupropion (n = 11), citalopram/escitalopram (n = 17), and no antidepressant (n = 28) groups. Results and Conclusions: Trend for greater decrease in smoking for the bupropion vs. citalopram/escitalopram group [−6.4 vs. −.4 cigarettes/day (p = .276)], although the bupropion decrease was similar to that seen in the no antidepressant group [−5.3 cigarettes/day]. Scientific Significance: Data support continued study of bupropion in depressed pregnant substance-dependent smokers.
