I've been having problems with stomach upset today. I take methylphenidate for my ADHD and it’s the only medication that works, however it kills your appetite after you take it. I can never eat in the morning because when I wake up I always have an upset stomach but I smoke marijuana to get an appetite. Today my stomach felt horrible compared to normal days and my husband and I were celebrating my birthday today (it was yesterday but he had to work) and I took it on an empty stomach because we needed to leave and I don’t like going out in public high. I was randomly gagging all day and when I tried to force myself to eat I threw it back up. My husband bought me a Gatorade to see if that would soothe my stomach and it somewhat did. After our hike I had major heartburn from the stomach acid coming up so we went to Dairy Queen and I got a twist. It soothed my stomach some but I’m still having heartburn as of now. My husband recommended I get something to make smoothies in the morning since it’s pretty much the only thing I can keep down when I wake up. But I have smoked some and it’s helping a lot with the nausea and hopefully I’ll be able to eat a normal meal soon. Stomach pain is the worst.

I usually can take it on an empty stomach and I would be fine. I just try not to do it. But my stomach was extra upset so it was horrible. But I had Dunkin’ this morning after smoking a little bit and my stomach feels great today.

Better safe than sorry, I'd think. There are a lot of medicines that recommend not taking on an empty stomach. Even just a donut or some crackers is probably a good idea.

Yeah. Smoothies are the best for me because the coldness soothes my stomach and I get my servings of fruit. Plus they fill me up. My amazing mom is getting me a smoothie maker and I’m so excited.
Yeah, probably better than a donut or crackers, too.
