Yes, I did both times, adderall is a definite no go during pregnancy (at least that is what I was told) I am not going to lie, it was tough and my job performance suffered, but I made it through both times, so it is doable. I did take some other meds during my pregnancies, but not anything for ADHD.

Actually it looks like it is allowed during breastfeeding.

This is such a toughie. I had to go off when I was doing IVF and damn. But my bigger concern was trying to get a FT gig (I was consulting) so I could get paid maternity leave and have a job 3mos later.

Which is a whole other thread

Going off Adderall while pregnant was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Focusing on my own health for the baby’s sake was my way of coping. One day at a time! Eating better, exercising, etc all helped me focus. The struggle is real.

Before I was pregnant I was honestly taking too much and I’m not sure how I would have gotten off of it otherwise. It’s been 7 years adderall free and I won’t touch the stuff again.

Hi All, I am 11 yoe, working at a medium sized product company and I got an offer from Thoughtworks (50% hike) for a Lead Consultant role in data engineer profile.

Being a mother, I have anxiety and nervousness about joining a service based company bcoz of doubts below.
1. Job security, considering the upcoming recession is it safe to join TW at this time?
2. How good is WLB at TW for a Lead Consultant? Approx working hours on a daily basis?
3. How flexible is TW for WFH?

Please suggest

Question about fiber.

Last year, I was diagnosed with IBS following a few years of unexplained bloating, chronic upset stomach, and frequent bowel movement.

Because of the diagnosis, I’ve cut back on caffeine to only 1 cup of coffee per day about an hour after waking up before a workout.

Diet is relatively balanced. High protein so I take some enzyme with fiber supplement. Fiber seems to make the IBS bloating worse which on a daily basis is pretty irritating.

Any suggestions?
