I used to chew my first pills in the morning and that get me on a litle faster. what I have bee.n doing for the last 5 years for what i call my junp start pill I take two 25/100 and disolve them in some Dr.Pepper and that gets me going any time from 10 to 30 minutes. I do this at about 5:30 AM then I take my regular medications at 6:00.
