ADHD Medication information sheet

brazenautomaton

I have been struggling

For a long fucking time

with why my adderall was having such uneven effects and varying efficacy

and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not

and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with

or eat fucking Pop-Tarts or Life cereal

this is the most useful information I have ever received from tubr and it seems to be confirmed by several other places upon searching

so this actually should be spread like wildfire like actually

firebirdscratches

Me reading this realizing tunglr dawt kom gave me more information about my medication than MYDOCTORRRRRSSSSSS MYYYYYYYY FUCKENNNNN DOCTORSSSSS PLURAL MULTIPLE DOCTORSSSSSSSS

perpetualanachronisms

Reblogging to spread this ridiculously important info

punsbulletsandpointythings

Generally speaking, your doctors actually may not know these things. This is the kind of stuff to ask your pharmacist about.

Ok what the actual fuck , why does nobody tell you this like , wtf

Citric Acid is added to A LOT of food items as a preservative and flavoring agent. Things you may not even consider having it. Check ingredient labels on everything!!!❤️

PS: Citrus affects SO MANY other drugs as well. Check your info sheet, or go online for contraindications and drug reaction info.

**For those saying this is misinformation: citrus DOES render some meds ineffective. I have to even disclose this to owners that give their dogs fruit treats ( just like milk products affecting some meds too). Keep in mind a lot of the meds I’m dispensing for veterinary use ARE ALSO originally used for human patients (vet industry does a lot of off label use).

When in doubt, talk to your prescribing physician. Then, if still in doubt, talk to your pharmacist.

Be aware that a lot of this stuff is 1. Still actively being studied; and 2. Dependent on a variety of factors, including dosages and genetics.

Also, neutralize is a rather hyperbolic choice of word. Current studies indicate that some fruits and fruit juices can reduce the efficacy of certain drugs. Also for some drugs it actually causes an inverse reaction where it results in too much of the drug entering the bloodstream, thereby causing toxicity.

(Yes the above image is about grapefruit juice. Grapefruit happens to be the fruit this interaction was first discovered with and the one currently most studied.)

To suggest that a glass of orange juice can completely negate the affects of stimulant medication is disingenuous at best and downright misinformation at worst. It’d be more accurate to say that taking your meds with orange juice might make them less effective, thereby necessitating a higher dose for an equivalent effect than if you only ever drank water.

Finally, nothing I have found indicates it is the citric acid causing this effect. It seems to be a completely unrelated type of molecule, enzymes called furanocoumarins. These enzymes seem to bind to certain enzymes in the liver and/or intestines (Cytochrome P450) which in turn can — again, increase or decrease depending on the drug — affect how readily some medications are absorbed into the body.

That said, I’m no chemist, much less a doctor. Frankly a lot of the technical and detailed scientific explanations sailed right over my head. Bringing us back to the original point.

TL;DR - Talk to the people prescribing your medications and/or the people filling those prescriptions about any concerns you have about potential interactions between different drugs, your diet, or other lifestyle factors you suspect could be having an effect.

Anyone on the internet could be wrong, lying, or trying to sell you something. Especially so on one of the last remaining websites with any sense of anonymity. Double especially so in this, the era of AI slop.

Please talk to a real person in real life about this stuff.

Your health and molecules are too important not to seek out the best, most credible sources of information available to you. And if you’re taking ADHD meds, you definitely have a prescribing doctor who you are already paying (or paying the insurance to pay) to ask these questions to.

I GOTCHU TWIN

I think one day the commanders of the coruscant guard just sit down and go "okay im done w the chancellor he's just a bit too slimy in personality"

and stone goes "oh no problem, i have The Solution"

And the solution! Is jar jar binks.

U lock him in a room w a slimy politician and see what comes out? Right. Thats the plan. Its not a good plan, but it is A Plan. And stone is confident. And like. They dont really wanna be implicated in a murder or a coup so they just say "cool, we'll let you do that then"

And like four hours later, jar jar stumbles out of the chancellor's office holding a lightsaber. There's footage on the news (shot from a hovercraft outside of the chancellor's wall of windows) of palpatine trying very hard to kill jar jar using sith nonsense--and dying in a series of very scooby doo style events.

Someone asks the guard why they weren't guarding palpatine. And they're like "we were ordered not to, obviously."

And then the jedi have to wrestle the sith lightsaber away from jar jar before he accidentally beheads someone.

Things aren't all rosy because sly moore and all palpatine's other cronies are still around. But stone has a solution for that! (Its still jar jar binks)

Too many ‘Bail Organa wants to befriend clones’ and not enough of the other way around. Bail is nice to Commander Fox 1 (one) time and suddenly he has troopers all over his office. He always has a personal armed escort home whether he needs one or not. They’re offering him knives and shiny rocks and snacks and Bail just can’t bring himself to say no. He goes home to Alderaan for a week and gets a three dozen ‘priority messages’ that are poorly disguised “we miss you” notes. There’s snipers watching over his apartment 24/7. Bail does the bare minimum ONCE and he has the clones undying loyalty and he does his best to be worthy of that.

Don't mind me just talking about Duke Thomas once again. This is a lesser known panel that I love 💛

Remember how I said Duke is not a passive character? He's not fully trained here or even established as a hero in Gotham, but the moment someone he cares about is in danger (even if it's our resident badass Batman) Duke will be there come hell or high water. This further proves that point. They have a whole year long training regime set out for him and Duke is like "screw that, someone needs me." And that is Duke Thomas in a nutshell. Yes, he has smarts and skills, but his most important trait is his ability to care so deeply for others, to move and take the risk, not to be a hero, but to be there for those who need him.

Some bugs I gotta get out of my brain.

Duke will walk the streets as much as he will jump building to building. There's like a 70% chance you can find him at a park having lunch or walking little kids home from school, or even playing basketball on a really slow day. He is the complete opposite of batman. You will always see The Signal.

The first (and last) time he couldn't stop a kid from dying, Duke cried. Not silently wept. Not a single tear run down his face. He fucking bawls like a newborn baby. He mourns this kid. Goes to the funeral. Meets the kids grieving parents and apologizes. It causes the behavior above. He never wants to be too far away to save someone.

On slow days, Izzy in his ear is the only thing keeping him from being so so bored, They'll talk about his powers, how they think the other (living) We are Robin members are doing, their future, the city, anything they can think of. Every Friday afternoon, after schools let out, Duke will visit random pizza places and buy around 10 large pizzas' and start handing slices out to kids playing outside.

As both Duke and Signal he volunteers at soup kitchens for hours and greets almost everyone by name. He grew up with half the people there.

I am curious what you think of the fact that people both ignore Kyle when writing about the 141, but a lot of the times when he’s included, it feels like they forget he’s black, too?

I’m not sure how different the culture between the black community in Britain is different than in the US (where I imagine most writers to be from tbh) but I heavily doubt there’s no such thing as a microaggression in the UK. Do you get what I mean? What do you think about it?

Let me start by saying this. I am African American, I am a woman, I have seen all types of racism and different types of aggressions. I'm gonna answer this in good faith, and remember these are just my opinions based on my observations and overall experiences.

In general, I do not think the Call of Duty fanfiction community is comfortable with the existence of a black man being an integral part of the plot and storyline. There are plenty of reasons on why I have this opinion and it boils down to: Fandom spaces have always been racist and people who write black characters either

Fetishize the black characters

The author has not deconstructed their own racist ideas

Can't or won't see black characters outside of how they relate to a white experience.

Don't feel comfortable writing black characters (or even black readers but that's another story) in fear of getting it wrong or offending people.

In the Call of Duty fandom, these are the ones I see the most. When Kyle is brought up, it seems like people do it as an afterthought. His stories are far and few between. Head canons short, drabbles even shorter. And when he is thought of, his blackness isn't even brought up. I know in the games it's not focused on because the main focus is military propaganda, but like in fan fiction, it should be brought up so that a well-rounded story can be told.

I've touched on the versatility of Kyle and what his unique characterization can lend itself to.

The trend of replacing him with some other white guy from the franchise? Like it's racist. The master lists with a list of characters you will write for? The 3/4 of 141 and the one not listed is Kyle? It's racist. Even if you don't intend for it to be that way.

Now for the second part of your ask.

The black community in Britain is completely different from the one in America despite the American Black influence (which is a totally different and nuanced conversation that I will not be getting into, like i hate the question "but where is your family from?" While uk drill rap is a thing).

The micro aggressions over there are different compared to the ones over here, but they are still micro aggressions. I've never been to Britain or the surrounding countries, but I have had chats with people from there, and there is racism it just presents differently.

As for what do I think about it? I think people should deconstruct their racism. And yes, if you are a white fanfiction author who struggles to write Kyle Garrick (or any character thats not white), or you magically dont find him interesting to write for or about, or you fetishize him, you should look inward on why because I promise you you may not like what you find and that needs to be addressed.
