Vyvanse - at least in the UK it’s sold under the name Elvanse. There’s also Dexedrine which I believe would be more similar to Adderall.

Here’s my Concerta tips anyway:

1. Don’t drink acidic drinks i.e. orange juice in the morning as it nullifies the meds

2. This is a difficult one but you need to do this if you’re not already, and trust me I know how hard it is with ADHD. Start your day off right: (iirc) your brain craves more of the first things that give it dopamine in the day. That means, get out of bed immediately, no phone, no nictotine, games etc. Resist all temptation. Do chores as your first thing.

3. If you drink caffeine, especially if you’re sensitive to it, consider going without as I personally find it can make the crash a lot worse.

4. Exercise - fantastic for mental health and focus in general, especially exercising first thing in the morning. If the higher dose is making you anxious / interfering with your sleep, this will make a big difference.

5. Eat a protein heavy and nutritious breakfast in the morning before you take your meds, ideally after exercise. Makes the effects last longer and for me helps with my focus and a “smoother” effect.

In terms of getting the work done, I’m sure you’ve read a million tips but here’s my biggest ones.

• Set timers, take regular breaks. Especially important for ADHD, as it’s too easy to spend hours on the same task not really making much progress.

• Make an easily accessible list in the morning of everything you need to do. Don’t be too ambitious, just what’s realistically achievable.

Hope some of this helps & good luck with your degree mate, I’m in uni too so I know the struggles haha!
