[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone had any experience taking medication for ADD/ADHD (stimulants or non-stimulants) while still breastfeeding? My daughter is 6-months old; I'm EBF and also working full-time. I've been off my meds for over a year now, but my work is really starting to suffer (as are other areas of my life) and I'm considering supplementing with formula during the day and still nursing at night so I can start back on meds (with the idea that I'd be on a IR drug with a short half life), OR just stopping BFing completely. I really don't want to stop breastfeeding entirely (and I'd feel like shit if I stopped just to get back on meds), but I know I'm putting LO at risk if I nurse while taking medication. I'm aware that most stimulants are considered L3s. Just looking for feedback- NOT JUDGEMENT- about what others nursing Moms with severe ADD have done in this situation. Thanks! [/quote]
