If you will comment negative things please go away- I’m seeking support on a medication. I’ve already spoke with my doctor and read all research with her.

I am 23 1/2 weeks pregnant. I have god awful ADD that is literally ruining my life.

Agitation

Extreme panic attacks

Sleeplessness

Anger

Anxiety

Etc..

My ADD meds always rounded me to a functional human of society. I hate trying new meds, I’m not depressed but it’s making me depressed now.

I had an appointment with my OB (I work there even) and we discussed it. Researched it. And even discussed issues with it and why it’s such a “scary med”... technically the SAME category and risks as an SSRI. She suggested going back on my Adderall especially since I’m way over the crucial parts of my pregnancy and I’m not mentally taking care of me.

I feel awful about it, the other suggestion was a med called trazadone just for at night. Never have taken it and it makes me nervous.

I am not an adderall addict whom ever took it to get a “high” so I’m not looking for grief, it actually does not make me all speedy like people have stated. I’m contemplating not going the route of it just cause I feel like I’m judged.

That being said- I’m seeking support to those mommas that possibly have taken the med because they suffered from their ADD.

Thanks mommas
