What Causes Stomach Pain After Taking Amphetamine 30 Mgs?
Hi, I have been prescribed to amphetamine 30 mgs. I take the pill in the morning without eating anything and 45 mins later I get a stomach ache which lasts all day until I eat something. Is it best I eat before taking the pills in the morning to avoid the stomach aches?

Yes, you should eat first. It sounds like the pill is irritating your stomach and perhaps creating too much acid. Since the ache seems to improve when you eat, the best thing to do is to eat first before you take the pill. Hopefully the food should coat and protect your stomach so you do not get the pain. Hope this answers your query. If you have more questions, I would be happy to answer them.
