I’ve seen some sources say that too high or low of pH levels can impact how well a stimulant is absorbed into your system. It seems the biggest source in regular diets, especially American diets, is citric acid. I enjoy many citric heavy juices, and also drink a lot of soda. Do you guys watch your citric acid intake about an hour before and after you take your medication? Do you notice an impact either way? I drink a lot of juice/soda, so I would have to adjust my diet quite a bit (granted, probably not the worst thing).

    See here’s the thing I don’t understand about this. And yes I’ve heard of this before. But both Adderall and Vyvanse say on their pharmacy forms that you can mix the medication in with orange juice to take it… So obviously the manufacturers aren’t too worried about citric acid.

      When/where does it say this? Does it still say this? It’s entirely possible newer research has come out since they suggested the above.

        My last script I filled had it with the paper work.

              That’s an important note I failed to mention in my post. This seems to only impact instant release medications
