Proper Nutrition/ Hydration
Taking your medicine with food can help lower nausea and queasiness and hydrating will help with dry-mouth, fatigue, and tenseness.
Meal prepping healthy meals can cost just $25 a week and a reusable water bottle can be purchased for just $10.
Meal prepping and carrying a water bottle can encourage healthy eating and hydration habits by simplifying your meal routine.
Consistent sips of water and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels will help keep your brain and body healthy while on stimulants.
Sleep Medication
Sleep medications like Ambien are considered a last resort for those on stimulants with sleep difficulties and generally aren’t recommended by doctors.
Ambien is not very affordable – the average retail price can be more than $737.83 for a month’s supply.
Doctors are hesitant to prescribe Ambien to stimulant users, as adding a sleep-inducing drug at night sets up a brutal cycle of stimulation and sedation.
Although it will provide instant gratification, Ambien is only intended for short-term use and may create more daily disturbances than those brought about by lack of sleep.
