Hey girl, what was the outcome in your pregnancy? I am in the same boat! I’ve had 2 miscarriages this year. And just found out i’m pregnant for a 3rd time. I’ve been taking adderall xr 30 mg for 7 years and have cut down to every other day. I’ve decided to stop cold turkey for the remainder of pregnancy! And hope the baby is ok. Any input you have I would be so grateful! Thanks.

Hi. I realize this is an old post however I just stumbled across it so I am hopeful you see this. I am 17 weeks pregnant. I am prescribed 30 mg extended release and 20 mg fast acting daily. I stopped taking it, upon the request of my OB at 8 weeks. Due to needing to function, a highly demanding job, and 2 kiddos under 5 I started taking it again last week. I have an OB appointment and anatomy scan in the morning. I'm so worried about talking to my OB and him finding out I took it after he told me not to. Do you have any advise?

Thank you! I am exactly 6 weeks yesterday and have been taking 20mg most days. I'm completely beating myself up but it helps me so much. Did you completely taper off once you found out you were pregnant?

Wow. You’re the one who sounds ignorant. I’m sorry we all can’t be perfect like you. I would rather be sensitive, self-aware and creative—with anxiety and ADHD—than obnoxious and self-righteous like you. In my opinion, the world would be a much better place if people like you didn’t procreate.

And BTW, anxiety and depression aren’t always caused by traumatic events. Know your facts before you start spewing out wrong information.

I know this is way after you wrote this so you might not ever see this, but THANK YOU. That was the most solid, well thought-out, logical advice I could have hoped to find. Thank you.

Listening to the opinions of ignorant people will cause more harm to unborn babies than taking Adderall as prescribed, under the care of a medical professional; every time.

I took adder all and my son has auto processing disorder. I can't take the guilt as I know I did this to him. Did you doctor say anything could help

So I am 37 and have been taking adderall every single day since college (so a long time lol). I was on 30mg and then weaned myself down to 20mg. After 3 failed Ivf stims and learning my amh was low I started halving my 20mg capsules (so I’ll take 10mg a day). I’m basically just doing this mainly so that it’s easier to manage once the day comes in finally pregnant—10mg a day is hard though! I’m also on Wellbutrin so it’s like a double whammy of drugs. Anyway, I’m in FET prep now and getting ready to transfer one of my two embryos next week. I’ve still been taking my adderall daily although i am a bit nervous. I don’t really know if and when I’m supposed to stop taking before the embryos is transferred and like you said, docs really are no help. My 30 yr old little sister just gave birth and she took 60mg of adderall throughout her ENTIRE pregnancy and her baby was born perfect—the baby sleeps throughout the night and is so good. I think it’s better to take the medication and be happy and normal then to not and be miserable and unable to function...that’s what I’m leaning towards

I just found out a week ago i am pregnant witg twins. Im about 7 weeks along. I dont wanna stop taking my dextroamphetamine because my ADD & ADHD take over my daily life without my medicine. My OB said no because risk of growth restriction. Not sure what to do...

Why did you ladies on here find out so late that you were pregnant? Did Adderall cause false negative tests? Mask symptoms? Or simply did not test and did not realize?
