I guess I’m really struggling with guilt and the fear that taking adderall while breastfeeding will have long term negative effects on my baby due to the lack of research, however, I need it for my extreme ADHD. I went without it during this and my last pregnancy as well as when breastfeeding my other child but I struggled with a lot of anxiety and depression during those times. My husband doesn’t know I’m taking it because he wouldn’t be supportive. I feel like I’m keeping a dirty secret. I love breastfeeding and only plan to do it until I go back to work after 6 months. I am taking a quarter (5mg) or half (10mg) of what I’m prescribed at a time. I don’t know I think I’m just looking for someone to tell me it’s going to be okay.
