Is your adhd better with completely quitting alcohol?

[u/annamonapia]

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?

Yesss. I’ve been sober over a year. When I was prescribed to vyvanse in my teens, I ultimately developed a problem with drinking and used vyvanse to continue partying and stay up. Now that I’m sober, I find medication helps me so much and makes me not want to escape. This isn’t to say that vyvanse would ever be a cause of someone drinking, but I believe I already had an alcoholic disposition and was young and wanted to have fun and used it wrong. It’s so helpful to me now.

Tips on vyvanse : be careful with caffeine and make sure you’re eating, or else the vyvanse can affect you in a way that makes you feel snippy or in a bad mood. Also, I always carry water, lip balm, and gum with me because it dries out my mouth! I’m always paranoid I’ll get those dry white rings on my lips if I’m not keeping everything hydrated! Lmao

I also hear to give it about a half hour before and after when it comes to vitamin c or acidic things. So that includes coffee
