hello my name is... neway. this is for anyone who is having trouble with thier meds namely focalin (regular kind) and concerta.
if you experience moodiness and tight chested-ness when you take focalin you might want to try this. its a little wierd but it works for me. first, when you get up drink about 8 oz of orange juice, wait 2 minutes, now for the nasty but most important part take you meds with aboout 1/3 cup of pickle juice mixed with about a spoonful of baking soda. it takes so gross but its worth it.
after this wait one minute, then eat about 10 crackers and a glass of water and have a bowl of cereal or whatever u want about half an hour later.
i know this sounds so lame but it works for me.
im still trying to figure out concerta but this is what i have at the moment.
1. when u get up take ur pill with water and dont eat breakfast or nething before.
wait 10 minutes and then drink 1/3 cup pickle juice and baking soda. wait 5 more minutes and then have a bowl of raison bran (raison bran works best for me for some reason but you might want to experiment with others. rice chex is also good) the only downside to this is you will feel kind of bland in the morning but not bad at all. the worst part is in the afternoon you might feel weird for 30 mintues but drinking alot of water makes that less irritating. other than that everything else is pretty good.
now im not a doctor, and i have no idea why these work, the're just lucky guesses ive come up with over time. you might want to try some of your own experimentation.
adios.
