A member asked:
Can taking ritalin (methylphenidate) decrease my milk production?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to doctor: Am not aware of any studies that conclude Ritalin (methylphenidate) decreases milk production. More concerned you're breast-feeding while taking Ritalin (methylphenidate) which gets into breast milk. Please discuss with pediatrician and consider bottle-feeding if you need this med. Best wishes.
