I was so afraid that when I stopped taking adderall, I would be less social & productive, but pregnancy is the perfect excuse to be tired & out-of-it. I don't know about other women, but I got so tired, I had to quit working at 8 weeks, so I no longer needed adderall anyway. If you get foggy, you can blame that on the pregnancy too. Pregnancy brain will make you forgetful & distracted. I also had to switch to a lower dose of my antidepressant, and my sister made sure I knew that everyone in our family would understand if that made me feel less social, and they would try to help by coming to pick me up to go to family gatherings & stuff. Bottom line: Quitting meds may make your life more difficult, but people will be extra supportive & understanding because you're pregnant, so enjoy it! Don't push yourself too hard or expect too much of yourself.
ADHD help!
Does anyone else have ADHD that stopped taking their meds due to being pregnant? If so, what do you do to help yourself focus throughout the day?
