Is it harmful to restart my 10mg medication and stop as soon as I have a positive test?

Question

Hi, I have been trying to have a baby since August and am no longer taking my ADHD medication (Vyvanse 10mg). I have had doses of 20, 30 and 40mg but with my doctor, we have reduced the said dose to 10mg. Since I have been on a baby trial for a few months now and I am having trouble concentrating. Restart my Vyvanse 10mg medication. Thank you in advance for your response. In fact, I have been on a baby trial with my spouse since August and have not taken my medication since then. However, I have difficulty concentrating in my work. I am wondering if it is possible to start taking my Vyvanse 10mg medication again until I have a positive pregnancy test as it can take weeks or months to have a positive test. Great, thanks for your answer.

Hello :) It's ok to start VYVANSE again at 10mg and then stop it without withdrawal if the test is positive (the smaller the dose the lower the risk of withdrawal symptoms). According to my references, taking VYVANSE during pregnancy does not cause an additional risk but there are not many studies on it. Have a nice day! Calin (phm)
