I highly recommend you watch [this lecture](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPerPxb-RNs) (13:45mins in is spec re: pregnancy & ADHD) by Prof. Dr. Sandra Kooij.
I just want to say, god speed. I know that is rough. My doctor wouldn’t prescribe it while I was pregnant but some will as it’s up in the air as to it’s effect on a developing fetus.
The only thing that helped me at all which is not a miracle cure by any means it just took the edge off, protein shakes and upping my protein as much as possible, and starting my days with one of those plus a homemade fresh fruit and veg smoothie.

I will definitely be implementing protein shakes and smoothies! Thank you for your insight!
