As far as breastfeeding/pregnancy goes I don’t think you would want to be on any medication used to treat the symptoms of AD/HD. Methylphenidate is one that there have not been enough studies to go either way. I would talk about it with your Doctor if/when the time comes. You may have to abstain from the meds and focus more on the coaching and CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy). Kick start it with some hypnosis maybe. I recently spoke to an experienced hypnotherapist who said he’s worked with ADD’ers.
