Question

I have ADHD and have fallen pregnant does anyone no if i can continue taking my d5's and what are the risks?

Answer 1

I am 37 weeks pregnant and also ADHD. My doctor advised me against taking my meds. They told me when you are pregnant you should only take meds that fall under the A and B categories. I was on Adderal and that is considered a category C medication. My doctor said that the baby could have side affects from the medication like withdrawal if I would have continued it. I would speak to your doctor though. I wish you luck!

Answer 2

Yep, Bertha, it is in your interest and your baby's interest to see a doctor without further delay. Its always best to err on the side of caution.

Answer 3

You have to ask your Dr....this is something only you and your Dr. can decide on. I would call them ASAP and let them know you're pregnant.
