TW: Mental healtb So this is going to be embarrassing but Im needing help. My Obgyn and Psychiatrist cleared me to continue taking my medication through out pregnancy. I am prescribed 10mg of adderall and I would typically cut it in half while pregnant down to 5mg because I was too scared to take the full dose. I took it as needed until 29 weeks and 5 days and stopped because im am on maternity leave. I am now experiencing alot of anxiety because I read an article where a woman was flagged for controlled substance and had her child taken away because she continued taking her adhd meds. I put myself into a panic attack, called my obgyn crying and called my psychiatrist for an emergency appointment because of the panic attack. They both assured me my meds are documented and that I have been approved to take them... convinced me for a bit until I started branching into other stuff like wondering about false positives. I ate a ton or everything bagels early in pregnancy due to morning sickness, what if babys meconium or umbillical chord tests positive for opiates because of the poppy seeds? I used cooking wine in some meals what if baby tests positive for alcohol. I was frozen and researching non stop for hours, didnt sleep well and still struggling with thoughts that somehow I will test positive for something that I didnt take because of what I ate or cooked with or there will be a mistake with my perscribed meds and then they'll take my baby. I'm not sure what to do.... has anyone struggled with this? submitted by /u/Unable-Recipe-7892 [link] [comments]
