Like, is it enough just to have something like a granola bar with it, or do they really mean a full meal?

    For adderall I was told to try to eat a full meal before taking simply because it’s an appetite suppressant, and it helps avoid too much weight loss.

    For vicodin I took it on an empty stomach once and pretty quickly developed a crazy brain fog. Ate a bit and it seemed to help.

      It also causes your digestive track to process at a normal speed and so the absorption of the medicine is more spread out.

      Important with something like an extended release medicine like Adderall XR which will build up and then stay somewhat steady and then taper off. And essential for a non-XR since it’s already going to be alot hitting you and then tapering down over time.
