Hi,
I am currently taking 20mg of amphetamine salts, 5mg 4 times a day. I breastfeed my 19 month old toddler in the morning before taking medication, at nap time (about 3 hours after taking 5mg) and then not again until bedtime (again about 3 hours after taking my final 5mg dose). He still nurses a lot in the night. He has never been the best sleeper but gets around 12-14 hours of sleep per day. I started to take adderall after getting the okay from my doctor when he was 8 months old and only took about 5-10 mg per day. I guess I just need some reassurance that taking 20mg per day is okay at this point - since he is a toddler and not nursing so much during the day. My doctor wanted me to consider switching to XR but I don't feel comfortable switching until my son is weaned and I know he is not ready to wean yet. Thanks so much for your time!!
