Adderall XR Diet Plan | ADHD Information

Hello, for the last week I have been trying to find a diet plan that minimizes the side effects of Adderall XR ( at least for me ). So far I have a 'daily' plan that seems to be working very well.. both to reduce side effects and also to provide maximum energy throughout the day.

Here is what I have so far:

Breakfast [ I take my medication right before eating this ]

*Muffin Bar / Whole Bran Muffin
* One egg scrambled without milk or salt works, but we aware of high colesterol and fats - best to eat some time after taking medication. Egg is mostly eaten for Protien, so a protien shake works just as good ( WITHOUT MILK ).
NO SATURATED FAT, NO CITRUS JUICES, NO ASORBIC ACID ( Vitamin C )

Mid-morning Snack
* SNACK SIZE Vanilla Pudding, Apple Sauce, or small oatmeal bar

Lunch
* Sandwhich with whole-grain wheat bread. Chicken, fish, cheese ok.
* Small glass of milk.

Mid afternoon snack ( only if feeling tired )
* Any reasonable high-carbohydrate snack. This helps to give an energy boost and raise blood sugar levels ( apples work great if you can stomach them ).

Dinner
* BAKED fish ( do NOT fry ).
* Baked beans.
* small glass of milk.
or
* Noodle bowl with a slice of whole grain bread.
* small glass of milk.

Before bed time, I drink a cup of Cranberry juice. This helps to detox the system to prevent the 'morning fuzzies'. ( basically withdrawal from Amphetamines ).

I  suffer from IBS, and this diet plan seems to be quite effective for me. I would advise others to post here what they find useful - EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, and no diet plan can ever be claimed to be 'perfect for everyone'.

Peace.

After adjusting my diet these side effects have gone, and now I simply get a little 'tweaked' when the meds kick in ( both the initial dose and the time release dose ). This is manageable, and is similar to drinking a couple cups of strong coffee, and only lasts for 30 mins or so.

The medication has been tremendously effective for me, and has probably helped me to save my career and my relationship.


What have your side effects been on adderall?
