    i started taking mine again this year; i really need it for this new desk job. Previously worked in construction most of my life.

    but it hurts my stomach to take it on the reg. ugh

      Magnesium glycinate and also not taking it on an empty stomach but rather with a proteiny meal can help a lot. Also avoid coffee with it. And move more, i always feel just awful if i dont stretch and move about

        but the adderall days are the only days i can go some time not eating all day! lol (probs why my stomach is dissolving painfully)

        i do have a timer every hour reminding me to stretch. i should also use the standing desk thing i got out of the dumpster at my last job.

        i am barely competent with these meds!

        i got a bottle of straterra but i am nervous about it for reasons i can’t remember right now

            no no, i asked the dr for that like a year ago, to try and mitigate tummy ouchies. i only tried it one day but it gave too much anxiety? or something

              It sounds from the context you had stims and you’re downgraded to Stratterra and you’re unsure of it currently. Is that correct?

                  Try to eat something fatty and proteiny with it so theres something to cushion the impact. You need richness to balance out the lack of desire and taste stims can often cause and slow down their absorbtion a touch while still getting on with your day knowing you’ve taken your meds so its time to begin getting shit done
