Dexedrine is contraindicated by the AAP guidelines for lactating mothers.
Ritalin if not reviewed, but Hale says it readily enters breastmilk due to
small molecular size.Has CNS side effects.

I am surprised that anyone gave her these drugs, along with Prozac, when she
is breastfeeding. Wow. doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
