This is a good thread b/c
I've wondered about the effectiveness of my drugs wearing off too,
and i've been waiting and fearing that..i get headaches, i'm still much more capable of sustained focus (spent four hours on my essay for class the other night, what a feat) but i'm definitely dragging arse physically..its like being hungover all the time, i hate that.
i cannot even contemplate giving up on my wellbutrin though b/c otherwise i would slip into severe deppression, its had very positive effects
HOWEVER...i reviewed that list of 'acidic' and 'very acidic' foods and the main question i have is this:
they specify that although some foods are simply acidic upfront, they actually alkanize urine, and obviously the other foods acidify once ingested. what should i actually avoid then? the very acidic icludes very common breakfast foods which really complicates matters , i don't drink oj or coffee b/c of the interaction and i dont' want to be ill off of caffeine (caffeine now makes me ill whereas before my meds it made me HIGH) but whole grain bread and oatmeal? no buttermilk pancakes or biscuits? no oj was already bad enough and i actually crave for fruit like tangelos in the morning which is definitely a no no...meat? beans? so no to: a really fine breakfast burrito w/ black beans..or bacon, or pancakes, or oj, or yogurt blah blah
for breakfast.
i know its a little things
but don't they say that the little things are the things
that count?

this sucks..
I seem to build a tolerance quickly to my Adderall. It concerns me for many reasons. Do you guys know much about the relationship between amphetamines & caffeine?Hi,
Never heard about caffeine absorbing stimulants, but have heard about another common drink ... orange juice (and other citric acid containing foodstuffs) reducing the body's uptake of the active components in adderall.
You'll find loads of info on this on the net......e.g.
"Stimulants (all of the above) should not be taken within one hour of citric acid products. Orange Juice is the obvious thing to avoid. But anything wrapped in foil (pop tarts) may have citric acid as a preservitive."

ksgcsg- I would suggest taking your meds on an empty stomach.[QUOTE=ksgcsg]Basilica- I'm not as worried about food as I am what I can drink. I LOVE (and need) my morning coffee and Adderall makes me thirsty- I drink a lot of diet coke... They are pretty acidic, right?
Or, are you saying that I shouldn't take my medicine within one hour of eating or drinking anything acidic? [/QUOTE]
If it is working for you there is no problem with your morning coffee. I don't believe that report anyway - always look for balance and you will never get tricked. There was no balance. if you distill it down to basics it says pretty much all food and water should be avoided, "rigghht." it's on some individuals home page, I have not seen any medical figures expose this. It's mainly juice that is a problem.
Have you ever taking an Ambian right after you got home from a big dinner? It didn't work because the contents of your stomach absorbed too much medicine. So if there is too much acid in your urinary track it will absorb your medicine. For this reason we avoid things like orange juice, Vitamin C - but only at the times our meds are working.
I know milk counter-acts the benefits of iron tablets - perhaps this is correlation also with the amphetamine. Rae7038251.1204050926shinsetu- It's not working. That's the problem... I drink a lot of diet coke& a giant cup of coffee in the morning. I don't drink any juice in the morning and haven't been taking any vitamin C. That sucks. Maybe its not the acidity, but have you tried to take the
