Does anyone have experience with taking ADHD medications breastfeeding? I am newly diagnosed and have an upcoming appointment to discuss medication management. Are there any experiences or recommendations? Thank you.

Most ADHD medications are classified as schedule C drugs when it comes to pregnancies and breastfeeding which basically means that there is minimal studies conducted in this and the little animal studies they do have are negative. I would definitely speak with you pediatrician in regards to this. I am curious though if you continued ADHD meds while pregnant?
