I am fully aware that I shouldn’t drink alcohol while on Ritalin, however I do sometimes cook with it, so I was curious on if that’s a major problem, as the relative quantity of alcohol is much lower than when drinking it. Say for instance a sauce that’s 1/5 Sake (15% alcohol) of which you then use around 30-40ml. That’s barely any alcohol, so should I be worried and maybe not take my meds when I’m planning on making food containing alcohol, or is it fine if I just avoid beers and wines and such?
Edit: The consensus seems to be that it’s fine, especially if it cooks longer, because it’s a low amount and at high heat the alcohol cooks away anyways. Thank you everyone for your input!
Every primary care doctor I’ve ever gone to has had either an NP or PA on staff to answer patient-specific questions, handle refills, appointments, etc. That’s pretty standard here, and I’m on Obamacare so I don’t have a special healthcare plan.
I think a lot of people don’t know that you can just call and ask them questions, for free, without having to set an appointment and wait. They won’t give you a diagnosis or prescribe a new treatment, but they’ll absolutely answer questions like the OP has.
