Adderall/Ritalin to help with implantation?

I recently had a consult with Dr. Jerome Check at Cooper in NJ. After 4 failed transfers (1 being an ectopic), we've been diagnosed by 2 REs with implantation failure. Dr. Check said I may have something called "increased cellular permeability syndrome," allowing more toxins into the uterus than most people, increasing inflammation. He said it's more common with people with autoimmune disorders, of which I have one. He prescribes Adderall to correct this. Since I'm skeptical, I've been looking into it, and saw that Dr. Braverman prescribes Ritalin for something he calls "reduced sympathetic tone" to correct "excessive cell permeability" reducing inflammation and improving receptivity/implantation. Basically the same thing. Has anyone heard of this before, tried it, and what was your outcome? Thanks!

OMG right when I saw your post title I KNEW you must have seen Dr. Check! lol...I go there too!  When my husband and I first met with Check and he looked over my file, he said, "You take adderall?"  I take it for ADD.  I said, "Yes, when do I have to stop?"  Then, he went on to say how he prescribes adderall to patients, etc. etc., gave me an article, and the rest is history.  I do not have an autoimmune issue, but he told me it can help prevent MC and to stay on it.  So I did.  Three transfers later and I now have a 15 month old son  Plus, still taking adderall.  Hoping to do another FET soon for #2, and I will continue the adderall.
