I’ve been taking 10-20mg focalin XR daily for years as needed to treat ADHD. When i got pregnant i stopped taking it. My son is now 7 months old. I breastfed exlusively for 6 months, now he is starting to eat some baby food at lunch but still breastfeeds mostly. It has been very challenging for me without the medication and now that i start work again i need to start taking 10mg daily in the morning.
- Is it safe to continue breastfeeding while taking focalin XR?
- Is it a problem that it is slow release?
- Should i try to breastfeed him only in the morning before taking the medication and at night and switch to formula during the day?
I would love to continue breastfeeding if possible but if there is any disadvantage for my son if i continue while taking focalin XR i would of course switch to formula.
Thanks in advance for your time!
