Does eating after taking Focalin dose reduce its effects?

According to a study I read, taking methylphenidate with or without meals did not change its absorption at all (amphetamine was absorbed differently).

I think it's safe to assume that dexmethylphenidate/focalin would act the same way--so eating patterns shouldn't affect the drug.

thay say you may 'feel' its initial effects faster on an empty stomach but the overall effects during the time it's active shouldn't be changed by food.
I take mine in the morning, sometimes before eating, sometimes after, and I've never really noticed a difference

hope this helps
