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?

Yeah I should probably stop but sometimes it helps with the executive dysfunction.

Just learned that my doctor had taken me off of an extended release almost 3 years ago which is when things started to get really bad with my ADHD. Without telling me. I never paid attention because I just always took the same meds. I'm so mad.
