   
Foods That Interfere
Q:
"Fatty foods seem to lessen the effects of my stimulant medication. Do you know of any other foods that do this?" 
A:
Eating fatty foods just before or after taking medication can reduce your body's ability to absorb it and, thus, decrease the medication's impact. I know of no other foods that affect AD/HD meds, but I encourage you to monitor yourself. Learn how the various foods that you eat might affect the benefits you get from your medication.
