New to Medication, Seeking Advice

Hi Alikes, I’m new here! I’m very new to medication, so if anyone has any advice about what’s worked for them, I would love to hear it!

I take Vyvanse for ADHD. It's helpful for me to wake up an hour early, take my pill, then sleep in for an hour. So it takes effect shortly after I wake up. I also try to eat protein (peanut butter or something) to help my body absorb it. And I drink a lot of water to offset dry mouth. I find that staying hydrated also helps alleviate my ADHD symptoms. I think that advice applies to any other amphetamine.
