I have searched the archives and checked in Hale.  Hale lists  Adderall as a 
L4.  Mom went off medication during her pregnancy, but now  has to return to 
work with her 6 week old.  Her doctor won't prescribe  unless she weans, her 
pediatrician says she has to wean.  She doesn't want  to expose her baby to the 
medication, so she respects that weaning may be her  only option, but is 
wondering if it is possible to manage the medication in a  way that allows her to 
continue breastfeeding at least part time.  She  could use formula while she is 
at work, which is the only time she takes the  medication, express and 
discard the milk, then return to breastfeeding when she  comes home as she can 
actually feel the medication is no longer working.   She doesn't want to wean, she 
has to work, she cannot function at work without  medication.  When I read the 
forums on Hale, I notice the question posed  there too and the response.  
But, just want to know if others have had any  experience with this drug, and 
doctors willing to prescribe to a nursing  mother.

Thanks,
