ADD during pregnancy

by Clou23, Feb 05, 2008 02:18PM
I had been on Adderall (adderrall) for about two years when I found out I was pregnant (about 5 months ago) I immediately quit taking the medication at that time. I am now 25 weeks pregnant and finding my symptoms to be getting worse and worse daily--has anyone else dealt with ADD during pregnancy and if so how did you cope? I am beginning to feel a little like i am losing my mind and and like i might run out of my job screaming at any moment.

First off - congrats on your pregnancy.  Having gone through 2 with my wife, I know how exciting and difficult it can be.  Not to mention what it must be like to have ADHD.

Anyway - I am being forward, but does your OB know about your medication?  And that you stopped?  I would start there.  It is never advisable to just stop taking medications on your own.  Of course I can understand your concern about medications during pregnancy, but always start with your medical doctors and work from there.

Gotta run - my little one is fussing.

All the best,

Rory
