Well I, too, was unable to find any information regarding gastric-Ph and benzodiazepine absorption. So I just went for it... only one problem. I'm on the Atkins diet (doing extremely well on it), and Tums each contain 1g of sugar. I rummaged through the medicine cabinet and was lucky enough to find Mylanta Gelcaps, containing 550mg calcium carbonate and 125mg magnesium hydroxide each. So I took my 10mg Dex Spansule and 2mg Klonopin along with four Mylanta. That was about 45 minutes ago, and I'm experiencing the same pleasant increase in effects of the Dexedrine that I did from sodium bicarb. :-)
I see my pdoc on Wednesday, and I do think a dosage increase is necessary even with the carbonate potentiation, so I'll probably move up to 20mg twice daily. Guess I'll see how that goes soon enough!
