I usually wake up aroun 9, and take my adderall around 9:30. Most of the time I have class from 10am-2pm. I don't eat breakfast in the morning, even if I'm hungry, because I just can't wake up early enough to put some time between the meal and the dose. Then around 11 or 12, I eat something small, a granola bar or maybe a meatball sub. I was just curious as to how you all schedule your meals and adderall?

Because I tend not to eat at all like I should on the Adderall, and I am terrible about waking up in the am, I set my alarm for a bit earlier than I need to actually get up.. I stumble out of bed for a few minutes to grab my pill and try to at least eat a bowl of cereal or something, even if I do it while laying in bed. Then I go back to sleep and shortly, usually within 20-30 minutes the Adderall kicks in and I can start my day..

But at least I have actually eaten something to start the day before the meds kill my appetite.. I also find on these days when I do eat early, I have more of an appetite later on..

I also try to at least drink some sort of liquid breakfast or healthy shake when I have no appetite.. I can usually do that even when I have no desire to eat so at least I get something good in me..

And I do not mean energy drinks or anything like that.
