I usually take 20 mg adderall in the morning anytime from 8-9:30 am. The therapeutic effects for the 4 hours that it’s sold as lasting. The problem is that I have difficulty falling asleep 1-2 hours past my bed time.

And I’m going to have to start taking it in the afternoon. I’ve heard eating citrus helps counteract the effects. I’ve tried melatonin, which has helped to a degree

    If you’re on ADHD meds, then there is a decent chance that you have to stop all cognitive activity by 7pm.

    No social media. No work.

    Reading a book or going for some exercise is fine.

    But if you get your brain running past 7pm, you will have a hard time shutting it back off for sleep.

    Also, citrus right before or after brushing your teeth is terrible for them.
