I don't know if I necessarily see a decrease in my ADHD symptoms but it pretty much eradicated my anxiety. Which was insane because my anxiety was pretty much debilitating. Once I cut back majorly on drinking, I stopped feeling panicked every single moment of the day. It's remarkable how many people are caught in that cycle and aren't aware of it.
