 Posted: 04/08/07 - 21:03 Post subject: Adderall and pregnancy |
  |
|
| I did not know that I was pregnant and I was taking adderall until about my 5th or 6th week. My doctor told me that very early in the pregnancy, the risk to the baby is low but I have read that around 6-10 weeks the risk posed by prescription drugs is higher because the fetus is developing so rapidly. I am very worried about what effects the adderall may have had on my baby during the 5th and 6th week and I cannot seem to find an answer anywhere I look. Does anyone have any information either on adderall itself or about a web site that can give a timetable for risk during pregnancy? |

Hi, I don't have any information but Im in exactly the same boat. I have been prescribed adderall for a few years now and stopped taking it as soon as I found out I was pregnant, which was unexpected, when I was 5 weeks into the pregnancy. Please, if there is anyone who can tell me what risks I have put my baby under? Or is everything going to be ok?
I also partied a little (nothing crazy, 4-5 drinks, brandy and coke, always, a couple of times) in the first 5 weeks but everything I've read about that indicates that it's a common worry for many mothers and that the baby isn't going to be harmed by a a little partying done very early on in the pregnancy so Im hoping its the same thing with the adderall. |

| i'd be curious to read the answer. i also took adderall during my first 2 weeks of pregnancy - between conception and first missed period - but only twice, and 20 mg each time. i'm guessing the risk is minimal, but i'm still worried... |
