[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the way, threads like these are why people who have no training and understanding of science should not opine on drugs.  Comparing adderall to meth is the height of stupidity. A dose of meth is typically MUCH more potent than adderall, lasts a lot longer, and is taken in larger doses more frequently.  Dosage, concentration, potency, frequency -- all of those things matter.  You can't just opine in a vacuum based on your knee jerk prejudices and tv watching.[/quote]

Actually some of us on the thread are licensed mental health professionals with some graduate psychopharmocology training. And still advising against this. Adderall has a long enough half life that I would not be comfortable pumping and dumping. We are not talking about a life threatening impairment to mom with a severely formula allergic baby. This is a mom who is making choices. Either the mom or the baby gets the priority here--it is not good to do this half way.[/quote]

I appreciate the advice - I haven't made the choice yet to be clear.  Most likely I would take it 1-3x a week right after feeding then pump and dump for at least 12 hours.  At the moment I feel comfortable with this plan but I haven't done it yet.  Doc is ok with it too.
