Serious discussions: What you do, is have serious discussions between you, your ob-gyn, and your psychiatrist about the risk of these medications to your baby, vs the benefit of your staying on them. This is different for each person, as maternal mental health is extremely important. Your doctors might advise you to stop the adderall, (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) but the Suboxone is another question. Please work with your doctors on this.

Depends: Studies have shown you should stop the Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) immediately. It is dangerous to your pregnancy. As far as the suboxone, it is a class c which means that if you can live without it you should probably so it but if you and you d decide you really need it you can take it with monitoring and usually every hong is fine!
