Provigil & Pregnancy/nursing (Page 4)
UpdatedI'm wondering if anyone else out there took this drug during pregnancy or breastfeeding and what their experience was.
I know anecdotal evidence is not scientific proof of anything, but studying pregnant women is not ethical. I noticed they just started a provigil pregnancy registry to track women who choose to stay on it while pregnant but I'm guessing it will be some time until we hear any results from that.
I chose to stay on it during my pregnancy because I had to work and drive safely. I lowered my dose to the lowest amount I can function on. My son was born completely healthy, very social, happy, no health issues. However, in order to breastfeed, I was switched to ritalin since there is more information available about it and breastfeeding. I hate it... it barely works (I don't want to keep increasing the doses and have addiction issues). It worked ok for a month or so, now it does almost nothing for me. I really miss my provigil but am not sure about the risks of taking it while breastfeeding, and unlike during my pregnancy, there is an alternative drug I can take.
Re: Holly (# 36)
Hi Holly! Hope you see this post, can I get an update on your little one? I saw that you took provigil a few times a week during your pregnancy. I’m currently 6 weeks and it has been so hard to be completely off of it... I’ve decreased from 200mg to 100-150mg about 3 days a week so far and I’m so so worried for my little bean. Any update would be appreciated as the data is all over the place and not consistent.
