Hi,
I'm 21 years old. Me and my fiancé have decided to start trying to conceive. I have read about ADHD meds being bad for an unborn fetus. I'm extremely worried about stopping my meds though. They help keep me awake and keep my attention under better control. I can't believe how I will cope being off of my meds. I've heard of Intuniv which is a non-stimulant med for ADHD, but I'm not sure how that will work or if it's healthy for an unborn fetus. I have made an appointment to see my psychiatrist about my meds. Has anyone out there heard about Intuniv? And does it seem to work okay? Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
