What Are The Effects Of Taking Vyvanse During Pregnancy?
Hi, I am a 31yr old woman. I just found out today that am pregnant. I have been taking 40mg of vyvanse once daily for almost two years now. I don't know how far along I am yet. 4-8weeks max. Should i stop taking the vyvanse? I am extremely severe ADHD. Didn't take medicine until my doctor rx'd vyvanse and it is amazing.
