So my doctor did actually prescribe me ER Adderall for my common diagnosis of idiopathic hypersomnia however I became tolerant to it rather quickly (increasing my dose every 3-6 months) at which point it was exacerbating my ADD symptoms ironically so I am now actually in Vyvanse and I personally love it
