Can you take adderall and be pregnant at the same time?

Answer by  milo (169)

Adderall has been classified as pregnancy risk C because it has been shown to cause harm to rodent fetuses. It was shown to cause miscarriage and learning/memory problems in mice. The benefits to you may outweigh the risks to the baby, so talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits.

It's not usually a good idea to take any medications while pregnant unless your doctor tells you that it's okay. If you were taking the drug before and you just found out you're pregnant discontinue use until you can talk to a doctor about it.

It is highly discouraged that patients take adderall during a pregnancy. Adderall is a Class C medication meaning that it has not been tested in humans but has shown side effects in pregnant animals. You need to discuss your usage of this medication with your health care provider and determine what is best for you and your fetus.
