A member asked:

Can i take adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) while breast feeding?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Excreted in the milk: This amphetamine mixture is excreted in the breast milk in significant amounts & is considered a toxic exposure for a baby that is worse in the newborn period but less so as the baby gets older.
