Greetings!

I was diagnosed a few months back and I’ve gotten on Vyvance 20mg to great effect. I’m not perfect, but much better.

However I do find that my focus wanes in the evening when I want to kick back and practice a hobby like drawing or music, I can’t sit down and just do it.

If anyone has advice or experience that might help, I’d be very grateful.

That's the dream really, for me currently I sometimes find myself getting an hour or 2 of OT at the end of my shift. Which blows.

Don't get me wrong I'm going to try to bend my schedule some more again soon so that maybe I could start aiming to get up by 5 am again as that was pretty damn nice when that was an option.

Getting up for work about 4ish hours before the shift starts is bliss

Edit: By getting OT at the end of my shift I mean I usually find out I'm getting literally as I'm trying to leave. It blows.
