Because caffeine is a stimulant, it will exacerbate the stimulant side effects of Daytrana - for example, it could cause the heart rate to increase, anxiety, nervousness, or increased blood pressure. Because Daytrana is a controlled release medication, the side effects may not be as prominent as with an immediate release drug (such as regular Ritalin), still probably best to keep caffeine at a minimum when taking any ADHD medication.

Why shouldn't you drink too much caffeine when your pregnant?

You CAN have a LIMITED amount of caffeine during your pregnancy. Limit your intake to about 1 can of soda (or 1 cup of coffee) a day. The reason for the no caffeine is that caffeine in high doses (over 300 mg or more a day) can cause miscarriage, preterm labor or low birth weight. Your best bet is to limit your caffeine intake to moderate amounts, and try and drink more water or juice instead. Tea is also a good option. It has significantly less caffeine than coffee.
