I've seen some sources say that too high or low of pH levels can impact how well a stimulant is absorbed into your system. It seems the biggest source in regular diets, especially American diets, is citric acid. I enjoy many citric heavy juices, and also drink a lot of soda. Do you guys watch your citric acid intake about an hour before and after you take your medication? Do you notice an impact either way? I drink a lot of juice/soda, so I would have to adjust my diet quite a bit (granted, probably not the worst thing).

It's more of a concern for instant release medications than it is for extended release medications, so things like vyvanse/concerta shouldn't be particularly effected

Yea, I've seen the same thing as well. Mine is instant release, twice a day. At least to start out. The extended release does sound kind of nice, though
