ADHD meds and understanding drinking

Hi everyone

This question has been asked a million times probably so I’m going to make it a million and one.

I’ve started elvanse, I’m on 50mg, potentially up to 60mg, and I’m currently giving myself a period of grace with it, let my body adjust, try and find the right dosage etc, and I’ve cut out caffeine, sugars, I’ve been working on diet too, and no alcohol too.

I’ve never been somebody who drinks often, but when I do it’s stupid amounts and the day after or the coming days, my urges to do it again are hard to suppress, I know I sound like an alcoholic, but having heard what alcohol and ADHD does it all makes sense. I’ve always controlled the urge to drink, and those quick pints here and there I’ve got better at but I’m the only one out of my friends and family who isn’t drinking. There’s never any pressure from them and they understand, however, I do feel left out.

What are peoples approaches to drinking, and how is it best managed? I know there’s not a same approach for everyone, but is there any advice anyone could share with me.

Thanks in advance
