running and add meds | ADHD Information
does anyone run long distances 5-10mi and is on adderall or some stimulant for ADD. If so, do you take all your meds on running days? I do, but anytime I work out, strengh train or cardio I am usualy wired for a few hours afterward, althought I tend to be like that off meds too. I usually don't run long distances and 5 is about all I have time for so I don't know if I'm the right person to be responding.
I haven't been running lately, but I go through spurts (4+ months) where I run 4-7 times a week. I used to run at night (meds would still be in my system, but not "full strength"). But, I switched to running in the morning, prior to taking my meds. It's best not to do strenuous exercise on adderall if you can avoid it, as it makes your heart work extra hard.
Best bet would be to ask your dr. before doing such.
