I took two pills intead of one this morning - Divisions by zero

I’m on Elvanse (lisdexanfetamin) 30mg I just took two pills instead of one by mistake. I’m quite sure I wasn’t noticing anything with 30mg but now I fear an overdose or some shit. Tho here if 30mg is not enough they jump you to 50mg which is not far from 60mg… The thing is that I’m scared and don’t know what I should do.

My wife (who is ADHD) said vitamin c , orange juice for example. Apparently it reduces the uptake. Your advised not to have orange juice because it can interfere with the uptake

What?! Why have nobody never told me? I always drink a glass of vitamins in the morning shortly after I take my meds.

Citrus in general, it’s why so many meds say not to eat grapefruit

I think grapefruit in particular has an enzyme that interferes with drugs (can increase or decrease effect):

Grapefruit juice can affect how well some medicines work

Grapefruit juice and grapefruit can affect the way your medicines work, and that food and drug interaction can cause problems.

Thanks for providing a link to a (hopefully) trustable source! I was thinking about searching a bit myself but it’s crazy at work at the moment so I was going to put it on the “do it later” list, and we all know how that usually works out xD
