Materials And Methods: Dextroamphetamine sulfate was given to a woman whose Crohn's disease was markedly improved by adalimumab but who still had one day of severe diarrhea at mid-cycle.
Results: She did not have any diarrhea or frequent defecation for the first two periovulatory times before she achieved pregnancy.
