I need help with side effects | ADHD Information

I get tense muscles and I just feel drained and streched by the end of the day.
Actually I feel drained after a few hours.
I realize it's lack vitamins amoung other things.
I've just discovered orange juice but the effects are very short lived.
Is it possible my body is processing the orange juice as soon as it gets into my body? I feel better over the course of the day but I'd like a more lasting effect.
Maybe Vitamin C pills? And if I did take them would it be enough for me to sleep whenever I wanted, because I don't sleep well until like 1-2ish, then I get up around 8:30.
If I could take vitamin naps I know I'd feel alot healthier.
I'd also like to know what other things I could take.
 Energy drinks are like my best friend at this point because they negate pretty much all the unwanted side effects and I feel great, but it doesn't last as long as I'd like.

I get tense, tight muscles too and I have begun to take magnesium.  Don't take the Calcium/Magnesium minerals because the extra calcium cancels out the Magnesium.  Most people get plenty of calcium.  I've noticed a difference since I started this.  I am not sure if I can attribute it to magnesuim or not but its worth a try. 

I also took a med holiday just so I could catch up on my eating and sleeping.

 

Have you tried iron supplements?  I was told several years ago that I had very mild anemia and to add iron supplements to my diet, and I saw a huge difference in energy levels.   Also, hypoglycemia can cause a sudden "draining" feeling - you said the orange juice helps but I find it helpful to carry around a small bag of lifesavers or something (something high in sugar that dissolves quickly)  If it is sugar-related, be sure to eat enough carbohydrates - that will keep your blood sugar levels up better.

P.S.  This is advice passed on from my doctor to me, I'm not a doctor or anything.  But it's worth looking into.

Basically, the meds are passed out of the body by urine. If you drink acidic drinks, they are passed out quicker. Therefore, you are uriniating out all of your drug. If you pay alot for the drug, you are paying for a substance that just comes out in your urine, hence you are pissing away all of your money.

Any medacines or supplements take with filtered water no citrus or caffeine.rshnIf taking supplements beware citrus drinks and caffeine alters absorbtion rates.Take with filtered water.

[QUOTE=Jimbo]Haha.. in addition to my last post, i just realised that if you arent getting government assistance for your pills and are paying full price, you are literally pissing hudereds of dollars away each year.. :P[/QUOTE]

Can you please elaborate? This has me interested. Thank you.

Calcium/magnesium at night from told by a nutrition person. Most peolpe don't get enough. I have studyed this issue. Girls need more than guys.Osteo. problems prevention.We all need 1200mg daily.Dr.'s no very little about nutrition.Go visit a dietacian for this imformation. Hypo glycemia need snacks between meals. Ex. Breakfast ,snack,lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Bascially eat every 3 hrs. This is a diabetic diet.We all should be eating this way anyhow.Watch starches/sugars. Will make sugar levels to high then.

Here's my supplements I use: multi,antioxadant,minerals,fishoil,cardio supplements. I am a Melaleuca memeber. I also use cleaning products from them. Filterd water 6-8 glasses. I also on occasion mix olive oil and water, colon cleasning.

Great imfo.on new imfo.  rshn

Hmm... the draining feelings could be just the drug wearing off. In which case drinking orange juice for a vitamin pick me up is probably the worst thing you can do during the day if you are taking an amphetamine based med.

Urinary acidifiers make the drug pass through your system and exit by urine quicker than if you have a normal ph urine. vitamin c is one of the most potent urinary acidifiers in normal everyday foods/drinks. this is cool if its in the evening after your drugs have worn off, but during the day you are making  yourself feel extra drained by getting rid of your meds quicker, which you try to combat by drinking more OJ. its a vicious circle. if you are after vitamins, try cranberry juice since is is actually a urinary alkaliniser and makes your meds work longer.

Oh, and im a uni student. by the end of the week i've kind of built a resistance to my pills (dex), so i drink energy drinks. i cut down my pills slightly on the weekends so i can catch up my sleep and my pills work better at the start of the next week. this may work for you, or it may not, but its just a suggestion i have.

Try some push ups, lounges, or get a stability ball and some weights and get moving. It might help you.
