FAQ

Does Alka-Seltzer make Adderall Last Longer?

Yes

Alkalinizing Agents: Adderall absorbs better in less acidic gastrointestinal conditions. You can decrease the acidity of your GI tract by taking one or two tums or half a teaspoon of baking soda (mixed with water) about an hour before consuming the amphetamine. Be careful not to take too much baking soda, as its chemical reaction with stomach acid can cause nausea and vomiting 1-2,7.

Will Antacids and Proton Pump Inhibitors make my Adderall last longer?

Antacids1-2 and proton pump inhibitors3 increase the absorption of amphetamines, but not the duration!

Will food effect my Adderall ?

Yes, try not to eat before taking your adderall or immediately afterward.

A study compared the effect of a high-fat breakfast when taking Adderall XR vs not eating breakfast at all.  Eating breakfast reduced the effectiveness.

“The study had a single-dose, open-label, randomized, four-treatment, crossover design in which healthy subjects received …  20 mg Adderall XR™ in the morning after an overnight fast or a high-fat breakfast …   Amphetamine concentrations were markedly lower when the subjects had eaten breakfast”4.
Other sources also back up this finding:
STARVATION and amphetamine both increase behavioural arousal, and have been postulated to act through adrenergic mechanisms in the brain stem. Amphetamine is believed to induce psychomotor excitation by releasing brain catecholamines, blocking their re-uptake from the synapse and mildly inhibiting the action of the catabolizing enzyme, monoamine oxidase. The drug also accelerates the turnover of nor-adrenaline in the brain stem reticular formation. Food deprivation increases electrophysiological arousal in the mesencephalic reticular formation and other areas and Dell postulated that behavioural arousal induced by starvation resulted from the release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla and their consequent action on brain stem excitatory areas.(5)
Locomotor activity induced by d-amphetamine was found to be potentiated by food deprivation … (6)

    I have been prescribed Adderall 30 MG ER. I use a vape pen with 6 mil. vape juice and have found that during my graveyard shift, I take a few draws every once in awhile on my breaks and get that “buzz” all over again. I don’t know if it’s the nicotine, or what – but it def works!

    nicotine is a stimulant and it can mimic the effects that adderall produces, thereby reducing the urge to abuse your prescribed medication. Just some food for thought lol
