I am having problems with absorbing adderall IR since my surgery. I've tried taking with glass of Water. Tried crushing it. Tried dissolving the crushed pill in water and drinking. Mixed in pudding. Taken on a full pouch and empty and I always avoid Vitamin C when taking it. Adderall bioavailability and absorption only seems to work just every now and then at best. 20mg twice a day.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I would talk to your pharmacist and see what they can suggest, they really know better that the doctors about meds etc.

Umm it's been my experience that pharmacist and prescribing doctors know plenty about normal absorption but not about our pouches and RNY small intestine malabsorption.

I wonder about this a lot too. Wonder how many of the meds I am taking are getting absorbed or not. Interesting. And I agree most docs and pharmacists probably do not have a good understanding of it either. Hope you get some answers.

I have notice that my ambien i take at night for sleep works a whole lot faster now post op. It used to take me two to three hours to get sleepy after taking it, now in less than an hour I can't hold my eyes open. I don't sleep for much more than six hours afterwards but I go to sleep fast. So something is different.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
