The hoops I have to jump through for a prescription I’ve been on for multiple years is ridiculous. My insurance will wrongly think I’ve filled it at a CVS I sent the script to hoping they’d have it in stock and then I sometimes end up paying out of pocket because otherwise I am exhausted all day and have limited capacity to do tasks.

The meds themselves have dramatically improved my life by being more capable of getting tasks and work done. Main downside is the drop off around 8/9pm when I become really tired and unfocused.

Talk to your prescribing psych about this. More, but smaller, doses throughout the day may be a way around this. Diet and changing when I medicate helped me a ton. I got another few hours per day out of my meds just by splitting the medication up and administering every few hours, timed just before/after lunch.

You do still need to acknowledge / accept that the medication can't be a 24x7/forever cure though; that crash back to sub-optimal levels of function and abundant distractability is inevitable :(.

That's not what you want to hear I guess. But Adderall has a dirty crash, using pure Dextroamphetamine and not one of this mix pills makes the crash more bearable and less tiring
