Medication & Side Effects Is your adhd better with completely quitting alcohol?

I’m 40 days alcohol free. I feel a ton ton ton better. My adhd is better. I am still starting vyvanse today to try to help myself through the daily adhd struggles. Anyone having similar time? Thoughts ? Any tips on vyvanse ? Any thoughts on alcohol free?

I don’t know the depths of your alcohol journey or why you decided to take a break/quit- but a month is something to celebrate! Not drinking alcohol literally makes everything in your body better (inflammation, emotional regulation, sleep, the list goes on and on).

I haven’t intentionally looked for the differences in how I feel after a night of drinking/ not drinking- but based on everything we know about alcohol it definitely SHOULD make a lot of ADHD symptoms a bit milder!
