People with AD(H)D think differently and personally - I love my AD(H)D, even though it can be very hard and difficult at times - but overall it made me more creative, smarter, funny & quick.

Learn to use how you think and don't let other people put you down - your mind is a gift not a curse!

Are ADHD Meds Safe During Pregnancy?

Q: My daughter, who takes ADHD medication, recently became pregnant. Is it safe for her to continue taking her medication? Will it affect the baby?

A: This is an issue that needs to be discussed by your daughter and her gynecologist. As far as I am aware, there is no research suggesting that therapeutic doses of stimulants taken during pregnancy for ADHD will have a significant or dramatic adverse effect on the fetus. However, physicians’ decisions about which medications their patients should or should not take are based not only on research but also on the physicians' experience. It's therefore important for your daughter to speak with her doctor.
