CAUSES OF ADD

 

WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS INFO ABOUT TAKING PHENABARTOL WHEN PREGNET.  CAN CAUSE ADD IN THE BABY.  MY MOM TOOK IT. AND I WAS ALWAYS WONDERING IF IT COULD BE THE CAUSE. OF MY ADD.  I HAVE READ THINGS SAYING IT CAN CAUSE ADD LIKE SYMPTOMS IN PEOPLE WHO TAKE ITThis is a antiseizure drug!Seizure patients have attention issues. This type med lessons seizure activity that is going on. They also have spd. Drugs during pregnancey can cause problems to the baby.

The prenatal effects of many drugs are not well documented, nor are there many links between Drug A and Resulting Disease B.  It is more of a "take any drug from this extremely large list while pregnant, and the baby has an increased chance of developing some sort of neurological/developmental problem in general".  The only one I know of that has been documented several times is smoking cigarettes during pregnancy.  Nicotine supposedly directly increases the baby's chances of AD(H)D, depression, anxiety, and other neurological diseases that aren't in the class of say, autism, schizophrenia, etc.
