I need to take two, one before and one after breakfast. That just makes it much more complicated.
So, my workflow should look like this:
Wake up at 7:29 (One minute before the alarm, because I set it to spotify, it enables shuffle which is hella annoying while driving.)
Take 5 mg Medikinet to be able to do basically anything, and drive later
Get ready
Breakfast
30 mg Medikinet retarded (Which means it just hits later and longer)
10 mg Medikinet retarded in the afternoon, because school is til 5 pm
It actually looks like this:
Wake up at 7:00
Stand up at 7:45
Get ready
5 mg Medikinet
A quarter of a breakfast, because at that point school starts in ~15 minutes with an 18 minute drive
30 mg Medikinet
As I did not have time to get a water bottle ready, no 10 mg Medikinet
But in the end, it doesn't even matter... because I basically finished school with minimal effort and still got a dual study program
My problem isn't really that it's too low, but that I forget to prepare water and the 5 mg at my bed before sleep. So I should probably do it in the morning, with Medikinet in my system. Because once I take it, it does work very well, and I notice once it goes back down (as long as I actually do something requiring my concentration). Driving without and with is like night and day. And after noon, especially noticeable in exams, everything drops down.
