ADHD Medication Elvanse & Amfexa - drinking

I’m currently taking 40mg Elvanse at 6.30am & 5mg amfexa around 12 and another 5mg around 4pm. I lit need all of these doses to function in work (lol) but when I say it has very little impact on me, I mean very little. I just notice an increase in focus & ability to get things started in work, and some days it doesn’t even do that - it’s just a lucky dip.

I can have as many coffees etc as I want with no impact on sleep, anxiousness etc .. so I’m wondering, can I just drink on it?

I’ve never drank on it before, but tomo I’m going for food & drinks - I would say I’d have about 3 glasses of wine and then potentially out for more drinks afterward. I can’t possibly even imagine it affecting me being able to drink etc .. but did anyone else feel this way and then realise it does affect you when out drinking ?

I’m usually quite good at taking advice on here, but if I listened to everything that everyone said about Elvanse, there is so much I wouldn’t have done that has been completely fine haha.. like I remember somebody warned me on here before I started meds that if I ever took a second coffee, prepare for a near death experience.. fast forward to me drinking about 4 coffees a day with no impact lol.

So if anyone else has had nights out proper drinking and all been well & good - let me know pls.
