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 had to give up alcohol in my early twenties as I quickly realised I had a problem with it, I could not stop drinking once I had started so it was easier to never start. Now I realise it was probably ADHD that caused that. Obviously I have replaced it with an addiction to nicotine lozenges, crochet and copious amounts of ice cream which I now have to give up because I'm fat.
