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 am SO lucky to be allergic to alcohol. between the ADHD diagnosis and the history of addiction in my family, i really dodged a bullet. alcohol has been linked to SO many issues, not just with ADHD, and avoiding it entirely is so much easier over time when you don’t make it a priority. find a replacement for the dopamine that your brain needs. it’s worth it!
