TL:DR: When taking your ADHD meds (in my case atomoxetine) it’s best to take them and eat a meal at the same time.


Storytime

This morning was the first time since I started my medication that I didn't eat with it because I normally eat right after I wake up and that's when I take my meds.

Instead this morning I took my medication then got prints off of my 3D printers, started preparing more prints for printing, and started one of them when suddenly I started feeling nauseous.

Like really nauseous.

Like shivering and sweating, nauseous.

I realized what was going on so I went and ate something small, soft, and easy to puke if things went further south.

Luckily the nausea has gone down quite a bit in the last hour so I was able to eat more but walking around is still pretty rough.

I might have to call out of work this evening but hey, at least I did this today on a work day and not tomorrow on my day off.

    If I forget to eat, a few spoons of peanut butter seems to work pretty well. I do my best to have some.kind of hard boiled eggs, little protein heavy pucks of oatmeal in the freezer, or protein bars to grab. It really makes a big difference (Vyvanse).
