Do You Take Your Meds With or Without Food?

I don't usually take my meds first thing in the morning because I'm not a big breakfast person, and taking stimulants on an empty stomach makes me feel wired a good portion of the day--thankfully it doesn't make me feel nauseous on an empty stomach. I find my meds have a mood stabilizing effect (I think that's a pretty common feeling with ADHD meds) and I'd rather take my meds right when I wake up so I can reap the benefits right at the start of the day.

The problem is getting myself to eat something in the morning so I can take my meds...because truthfully eating something before 11-12PM is like pulling teeth most days. I'll end up taking my meds once I have food in my stomach, but the morning is done by then and I feel like I've wasted most of my morning hours. Do you take your meds with or without food, and do you notice a difference in how it makes you feel?

TIA!
