My wife (who is ADHD) said vitamin c , orange juice for example. Apparently it reduces the uptake. Your advised not to have orange juice because it can interfere with the uptake
What?! Why have nobody never told me? I always drink a glass of vitamins in the morning shortly after I take my meds.
Citrus in general, it's why so many meds say not to eat grapefruit
I think grapefruit in particular has an enzyme that interferes with drugs (can increase or decrease effect):

Thanks for providing a link to a (hopefully) trustable source! I was thinking about searching a bit myself but it's crazy at work at the moment so I was going to put it on the "do it later" list, and we all know how that usually works out xD
Don’t know my friend. As I said this is what my ADHD blurted out when I read the original post 🤣 Please check the validity of this yourself but it was something she was advised to avoid.
It's anything acidic from what I have found/read, the pamphlet that comes with mine mentions it. You can get a strong and longer lasting effect if you take calcium carbonate (aka antacids) around the same time.
Same here, I only found this out recently as well and changed my vitamin intake to midday.
I thought it was the opposite. The extra acids melt away time-release layers so you get the spikes closer together and you run out sooner.
Edit: Reattach below linked this article about how grapefruit juice can either block enzymes, causing too much of the drug, or transporters, causing too little. So it's somehow bad on both ends.
