Hi! My 9 year old son is on Ritalin 10, (25 mg per day). Just wondering if there are any foods I should be avoiding while on this medication. I have stopped all types of chocolate (milo, nutella), all soft drinks and lollies. Not sure if there are any others that maybe should be avoided as well. Thanks in advance for any help.

This topic has come up just this week on the Adderall section.:)

Try going there and check it out; I would assume (never safe to assume anything...), but I follow the list posted there for Ritalin users as well. My son is on Adderall- so we both follow the same dietary recommendations to the best of our ability and will power.:rolleyes:

Avoid 1 hour prior and after medication

-fruit juices
-Gatorade
-Granola bars
-high vit. cereal
-lemonade
-oral suspension antibiotics
-Pop-Tarts
-Powerbaars
-soft drinks
-vit. C
***Citric Acid

This is the list that I go by....I post it on my frig.:)
