Common questions
Should I take this in the morning?
It's commonly taken earlier in the day, and the exact timing depends on your form and routine. Follow the schedule on your leaflet or from your prescriber.
How do I keep the immediate-release and extended-release forms straight?
Check the label so you know which form you have, and set your reminders to match it — once daily versus more than once a day. If you're unsure which you have, ask your pharmacist.
What if I miss a dose?
Don't double up. Check the patient leaflet or ask your pharmacist what to do, especially since a late dose may affect sleep.
Why do reminders matter so much with ADHD?
ADHD can make it harder to rely on memory alone, so external cues like phone alarms and a pill organizer help keep the routine consistent. Set them up in advance.
Stay on schedule, calmly.
