Quick question on recommendations for a nursing schedule / infant safety with an Rx for 15 mg amphetamine salts 1-2 times daily.
I did not take this medication at all during pregnancy, so this would be our daughter's first exposure. I'm exclusively breastfeeding and hope to continue. Should I be concerned about side effects with this dose? Would you recommend nursing before taking each dose (the next feed would be approx. 3-4 hours later)? Is there a certain time at which the medication is at its peak that I should avoid?
I've noticed the recommendation tends to be to "try it" and see if it works. Do you know approximately how long it would take to have the drug completely out of my and my baby's systems if we do start to experience problems? Her health and safety is my first priority.
Thanks in advance for your help!
