Anyone take ADHD medication during pregnancy?
I am 7 months (29 weeks) and I have always had a terrible attention span. I struggled like hell through school and never received any help for my issues. I have been diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. I was talking to my new therapist a few weeks ago and I was describing her my issues and she asked me if I've ever been diagnosed with ADHD and I said no, and she said I needed to get tested for it. Before pregnancy, I had my issues but I was able to somewhat get through them. Now, I cannot focus on anything at all. I was trying to learn how to drive and had a panic attack because I have already driven before but I couldn't comprehend or remember anything about driving. And I was getting help by my husband with driving and he was telling me what to do, but it was like my brain was blacked out. I recently got 3 new online easy jobs that are extremely easy and I can't focus enough to complete the paperwork and learn all about the job. I get so frustrated to the point where I literally get a headache. I really want to see someone and get formally diagnosed. I am considering taking the medication, but at this point I believe it it way too late in the pregnancy to do anything about this. I'm struggling so hard to get through everyday tasks and organize , this entire pregnancy has been so rough for me. I don't know what to do :/ ... I guess I'm gonna wait until I give birth to try and fix this issue.
