A member asked:

Before i got pregnant i was prescribed adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) and i was too scared to ask my doctor to stay on it. do you think i am okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Amphetamine: Your child is exposed to the amphetamine. The medication is category C. Animal studies demonstrate adverse effects, but there have been no human studies. I would discuss this medication with your physician to see if you should continue it.
