Hi Paulbwell

In my experience and from what I have read here, eating before ritalin lowers the kick in feeling. Medication is alot of trial and error :) I have taken my adderall with weak hot tea, I think it is the melting of the medication that kicks it in faster. I alway drink two glasses of water after that. The more water you drink, the less acidic your urine will be. Being dehydrated also makes you tired. Melting meds in my mouth also makes my gums hurt at time.

What you are experiencing when not taking your meds is normal. Its part of withdrawl symptons called crashing. When taking a med holiday its better to take a small dose and taper to a no med day. It's good to take med holidays, that way you don't build such a tolerance to your medication.

I am trying focalin right now. I'm really not impressed. I took 10 mg this morning and then slept for hour 1/2. I took 5 more miligrams about 30 min ago. I kind of feel like doing house work so maybe this med will work out :)

Hope this helped.
