I'm trying Adderall (again). I'll take it early am and at about noon.
I have a lot of questions about how to take vitamin C. Short answers would be fine. I'd appreciate the help.
I was taking 500 mg of C twice a day. The bottle doesn't say 'buffered' (what does that mean?) nor does it say 'time-released'. Would 'buffered' protect my Adderall response? (I read that once on this board: i.e., buffered C doesn't interfere with medications.)
I think I need to take vitamin C with 1000 mg DL Phenylalanine. I started taking the two together early morning.
I have a new multi-vitamin that has C in it that I want to take in the morning, too. It has 250 mg, or 417% rda, "as ascorbic acid, rosehips".
Can anyone tell me how long after I take a vitamin C tablet that it can interfere with Adderall? If you shoudn't take vitamin C with Adderall, do you take all of your vitamin C at night? Does that cause a shortage of C for other things in the daytime? Does my multi-vitamin need to be switched to evenings? Can anyone tell me what other supplements vitamin C is most critical for and, therefore, would need to be taken at the same time?
I hope I can keep taking the DL Phenylalanine in the morning. I don't know if it's working. I'm just now trying a higher dose.

Here's an older thread I found that may help you.

Thanks, DSCH, but other than saying vitamin C does affect stims, that thread didn't talk about timing of doses.
Does anyone know how long after I take vitamin C that it could still interfere with the Adderall? My regular C tablets are not time-released; my multi-vitamin is time-released so I am assuming the 250 mg of C that is included in it is time-released as well.
Does 'buffered' C really not interfere with other meds?
If anyone can help me with these or the questions in the first post, I'll be most grateful.
This is the end of the thread.
