Check w/prescriber: Unfortunately this will be a difficult question for any doctor on this board to answer. The person who bests knows what is going on with you (other than yourself of course) is the doctor who prescribed those meds. Your best course of action is to call the prescribing physician to clarify the instructions with the question you posted above.

Ask the doctor: There is no way to tell what your doctor intended without asking. Especially with psychoanctive drugs it is important to get the prescription straight and to get any questions answered. A call to the office should bring an answer.

Talk to doctor: You need to ask your prescriber how to take the medications. Also ask what the diagnoses that you are being treated for. the combination of your medications is not a usual one for treating ADHD
