Does anyone else experience variation in what the effect of their meds feels like?

I've gradually increased my dose to 2 x 30 mg of slow release methylphenidat and have had a couple of days where I felt fantastic. Very focused but also calm and balanced. I had this very strong feeling of "really being myself" as in being able to use my full potential as a person.

Then I have some days where I barely notice anything and today I've mostly just felt jittery and a bit anxious. I can feel the stimulating effect on my body (higher heart rate) but without the mentally calming effect.

Anyone that takes adderall looking here should know, high doses of vitamin c can inhibit the effects of your meds if consumed soon after taking them(like 90 minutes) so don’t drink orange juice or take a multivitamin in the morning. Shit fucking sucked to learn the hard way

Thanks for the tip! My wife and partner take vitamin c (and iron) with their meds, good to know about the interactions!

No problem! Accidentally putting myself through withdrawal was enough to make me never want anyone else to make that mistake!
