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?

Thank you. One lead to the other.

Drinking was a very unhealthy way to deal with a very abusive relationship.
