I'm Not A Doc, But My Doc Told Me 2 Is A Myth. The Connection Between Vitamin C And Adhd Meds Was Debunked

I'm not a doc, but my doc told me 2 is a myth. The connection between Vitamin C and adhd meds was debunked - it was merely something drug users did in order to appear clean - they consumed a lot of Vitamin C before testing. It did not work.

The myth was later twisted to the version we hear today. Supposedly even some doctors believe it, although definitely not most. Idk about that one - never met one.

Some smarter/more informed people on the adhd tumblr seem to agree with my doc, so I believe it.

not necessarily aimed at you personally but I figure you and others following might know things: I am waiting for an appointment to talk about finally getting ADHD meds and I am dying to know two things: will it stop or at least HELP these sugar cravings for the dopamine machine and also is it true I can't have fruit juice anymore

It might. It's more likely it will just help you control your actions in response to the cravings and/or make you less interested in eating for a while. Be ready for the dreaded nighttime munchies though... post-meds I have zero self-control.

There is some evidence to suggest that having meds with, say, orange juice can make the meds a little less effective. I think as long as you don't just take them with orange juice and nothing else, you'll be fine. It's rarely a big enough issue that doctors bring it up. (The weird trend of eating charcoal bread etc was a bigger issue because activated charcoal basically sucks up and neutralises some "poisons" in your body... like stimulants and anti-depressants. Yikes.)

For any new medication PLEASE talk to your doctor about any concerns or questions, no matter how silly you feel they are

Researching Herb Safety

Hey witchblr and everyone else who is interested! I’ve noticed a lack of awareness when it comes to herbal remedies/medicines having side effects and interactions with medications, and realized a lot of people don’t know where to look! (All sites linked are free):

Articles on herb-drug interactions: [1] [2] [3]

Chart for possible herb-drug interactions

HerbMed has a search function where you can look up the herb and find possible interactions.

WebMD has a search function where you can look up an herb, and then select interactions and pull up very thorough medication lists.

University of Maryland Medical Center has some info on common side effects and how to safely use herbal remedies.

NIH has a search function where you can look up the herb and find credible articles and info on it.

iMedPub has scholarly journals and articles on herbal medicine.

Elsevier also has scholarly journals and articles on herbal medicine.

Please send me more if you know of them, and I’ll start a part two! :)

I keep hate-reading plague literature from the medieval era, but as depressed as it makes me there is always one historical tidbit that makes me feel a little bittersweet and I like to revisit it. That’s the story of the village of Eyam.

I crave this. I need this. My house is a nuclear waste site, just like yours!

one of those generically cheerful Bless this Home (and all who enter) signs, but instead it says Memento Mori (remember that you must die)

Now that college students no longer have access to their libraries in the same way we used to and have to do most of our learning at home it would be just terrible if we all knew about https://1lib.eu/ a website which has books on basically every topic ever available for free including college textbooks. Imagine if people were researching their thesis without paying for it.

DO NOT USE THIS SITE AND DEFINITELY DO NOT NOT TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITE, THEY MIGHT START DOING THESIS RESEARCH FOR FREE OR JUST START READING BOOKS THEY FOUND ON THERE FOR FUN BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE INTERESTING. This would be terrible :( :(

Reblog to spread the word so that everyone knows to avoid this site!
