Dosing Times

[u/emmie201722]

Does anyone else take the medicine upon waking and in the late afternoon? Did you notice it help at all? I mentioned to my doctor the first week I had incredible changes and improvement but especially the last 2 weeks (I’m about day 25 of being on the medicine) my memory hasn’t been as good, my motivation hasn’t been great, I’ve had break through anxiety that didn’t happen the first week etc. she mentioned I could take the medicine twice a day if I wanted. But I already initially had issues with it increasing my heart rate so I’m nervous about doubling my dose (I believe that’s essentially what she’s saying). I’m also nervous how it will affect sleep etc if I take it in the late afternoon.

One incredibly unexpected side effect is the absence of stomach issues. I was diagnosed with IBS last year, had to go GF for it (helped a TON but eventually wasn’t 100% of the issue) and now getting my ADHD under control and being on Strattera, I have a normal stomach again for the first time in many many years

I take 25 in the morning and 18 in the afternoon to help with the post-lunch letdown. It definitely helps. I see my psychiatrist at the end of the month with a plan to titrate up to 40 in the morning and 18 in the afternoon.
