I’m prescribed Ritalin XR 40mg and when I take it ~10AM I feel great (talkative + focused). Then around 4PM my head feels tight, eyes feel dry, I get monotone and sound depressed…

Anyone go through a similar reaction?

Same but on vyvanse so if anyone has any tips, all ears.

I reduced mine - was on 70mg last year and currently 50mg. After reading a tonne of Reddit threads I am trying out taking an Emergen-C immune, with a b6 and b12 supp plus a magnesium supp at the end of my day. Then fast acting melatonin at bed time, yesterday was day 1 but worked really well.
