Hey lovelies  

We started on stimulant meds earlier this year to help with some of our ADHD struggles. We're currently on:

• 1 x 50 mg lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse®) on waking
  • ~10-14 hours duration of action
• 1 x 10 mg dexamfetamine (Amfexa®) between 15:00 to 16:00 daily, as a boost
  • ~4-6 hours duration of action

We've heard of some folks taking their meds as a split dose.

In theory, we could ask our GP to prescribe our lisdex dose across 2 capsules, with an aim to taking 1 on waking and 1 at lunch, whilst skipping the dexam booster.

Any personal experiences of doing this? (Only personal testimonials please.)

Not sure if we'd need to go with the same total lisdex dose (30 mg and 20 mg capsules) or request a small dose adjustment as well in line with not taking the dexam (2 x 30 mg capsules).

Thoughts before we reach out to anyone to ask to try about this?

Bonus question:
Anyone had any luck with getting GP to prescribe something like guanfacine alongside stimulant meds to help with RSD?
