In reply to I don't absorb some medications. Why??, posted by rjlockhart04-08 on August 1, 2011, at 13:57:20
I don't think it has anything to do with absorption. Whatever med you don't feel, the med just isn't hitting anything that you are going to feel. For example the antihistamine thing for sedation....past use of psych meds may have changed the sensitivity to that. It could also be drowned out by your current meds. A different med might be felt because it is working through a different mechanism that for whatever reason is a player in your biochemistry.
Who knows. Just off the top of my head. Poor absorption of one substance usually means poor absorption of everything.
But if you want to test the absorption theory, take the med under the tongue instead of swallowing it. Just let it dissolve under the tongue for about 5 minutes. It might taste like crap, maybe not, dunno, but the med will get straight into your blood system bypassing any absorption issues..
