Hypothyroidism: Why are you taking the Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine)? Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) can have side effects such as decreased appetite, insomnia, weight loss, anxiety, agitation, just to name a few. Uncontrolled hypothyroidism would have more of a negative effect on your ability to conceive and a subsequent pregnancy than they Levothyroxine. Would not recommend the Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) while trying to conceive unless absolutely necessary.
