Pregnancy & Persciptions?

Before reading, if you have nothing nice to say or haven’t experienced this yourself, just keep scrolling. Sadly, life doesn’t work out the same for everyone. If it were up to me, I’d stop everything without a care in the world. But, I know for me it’s not that simple.

I’m currently prescribed Adderall XR (25mg) and Klonopin for many mental health disorders that I developed during and after my last pregnancy in 2017. Upon recently finding out I was pregnant, I researched and found that Klonopin is definitely not safe for baby, which my OB confirmed. I have stopped taking it and we are going to try safe options for me and baby for the remainder of the pregnancy… As for the Adderall, I have read many conflicting things. My doctor wants me to remain on it for mood stabilization since I have finally become stable since starting the medicine. However, I am very concerned about baby’s health if I continue to take it.

While I’m willing to suffer through the desperation and anxiety for the next 8 months, it’s not easy on my husband or kids to go through that.

If you have taken it for the duration of your pregnancy, what was the outcome? A healthy baby? Or were there concerns throughout and after birth?
