ADD Medication and Running

lovekck

If you are on a stimulant for ADD, how do you time your dosage with running or other exercising?

Is it ok to take my prescribed dose and then run or should I wait a few hours?

Thanks for any feedback!

Hi

As a mental health nurse I would say this is a question for your doctor as it is quite a specalised medication and it would depend what you were on as some are controlled release and have different properties...

Good luck

Thanks Lucy,

I'll call my doctor on Monday for sure! I feel like I'm just going to get a generic answer of "Its ok to exercise when your on it" Which I already know. My medication is not controlled release...I can pretty much take it as needed and split it up throughout the day which is nice.

I just want how other people were coordinating dosage with exercise or if they weren't at all.
