Yes stop taking it! It is a category c drug. It can cause premature birth, low birth weight and withdraw symptoms in a newborn. Talk to your doctor asap about it.

You should definitely talk to your doctor who prescribes them to you and your baby doc! Im 24 n bipolar and my medications were category C they both said to stop those meds. i think adderol is also category C. But Icould be wrong

I would ask your doctor. Or Google online to see if there's any side effects or birth defects associated with the drug....
