In reply to Can increased water intake affect med response?, posted by Rick on June 11, 2002, at 11:09:37
Yes, what an excellent question. I drink exactly 128 ounces of water every day. I did hear somewhere that if you are taking vitamin supplements, that drinking a lot of water just flushes it all out without providing any benefit.
I'd like to know if this holds true for medication. I'm on psychostimulants.

P.S. I haven't really noticed any difference with my energy level, even before I started taking any meds - I've been doing the 128 ounces of water for years now.
