What are the risks of taking Adderall during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

The FDA Drug Rating System uses letters A through D and letter X to describe the level of risk to a fetus associated with medications. Adderall is in Drug Category C, which means “the risk cannot be ruled out� (American Pregnancy Association, 2006).

There may not have been enough studies on the drug, or the drug may have caused harm to an animal fetus. There is also not enough research to determine adderall’s risk to a nursing infant. Keep in mind, however, that adderall is an amphetamine, and a certain amount of the medication will pass through your breast milk to the baby.

According to Dr. Cheston Berlin (2001), “There are four drugs mentioned in the table of cytotoxic drugs that may interfere with cellular metabolism of the nursing infant: cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, doxyrubicin, and methotrexate.At the present time there is theoretical concern about the effect on the nursing infant of these compounds. The COD continues to feel that drugs of abuse are contraindicated in breastfeeding. This includes amphetamine, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and phencyclodine.

€? Choosing to take adderall while breastfeeding is a personal choice and should be discussed with your physician and/or child’s pediatrician.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
