Hi all! This is my first post here and I am excited to be a part of the group.
In a nutshell here is what I'm trying to find out:
I had RNY gastric bypass two years ago. Because of this surgery my GI track is not normal. Basically, nothing I eat goes through the duodenum and when it goes through the first part of the jejunum it has only been chewed and mixed with saliva (no gastric secretions at all).
I was diagnosed with ADD and am currently taking 20 mg of Adderall twice a day. What I am trying to determine is how Adderall is absorbed in the body and if my "plumbing" is significantly affecting it.
I have tried to find the info. Neither my doc nor pharmacist can't give me a definitive answer and I try to read through the medical literature but so much of it is babble to my "unmedical' mind that I just don't get it.
Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!
Jez

Hi Jez, and welcome to Babble. There are several boards on this site. This one is Psychological Babble, for the discussion of therapy and psychology. I think you're probably looking for the medication board, Psycho-Babble. I redirected your post there, and made a link for you:

Hope that helps. And again, welcome.

Thanks Dinah! I'll get the hang of it! Do you know if I have to do anything else to the post or will I still get the replies emailed to me?
