Immediate crash on Adderall, very confused. looking for info/advice

Alright… so im having a great experience with my medication (about half the time).. I’m dealing with something that I can not for the life of me figure out why this is happening. I guess I’m not educated on this enough. I take 40mg of vyvanse every morning and prescribed 20 adderall IR in the afternoon. When I take my vyvanse the first few hours are phenomenal, I’m focused and very attentive, but after about 5 hours I have a bad crash (I don’t know why so soon after dose but that’s not the full issue) after I feel the crash I go and take the 20mg of the adderall and it’s like immediately after taking it my crash gets worse and my ADHD symptoms go through the roof. Zero relief. Is it because I’m adding another stimulant while already crashing off the vyvanse? Are my doses too low? Does anyone have any experience feeling this way and possible advice or solution? Just uneducated on this, the main time I need my medication to be in effect is the afternoon/ early night as I’m studying for a very important exam and getting into crunch time.

Learning/Reading comprehension

Hi guys, obviously I’m here because my adhd is kicking my ass, even with my meds. I have a very important test coming up which may be a make or break for my desired career. There is a timed reading comprehension section that is destroying me. It’s difficult to begin with and I just cannot remember a single thing I’m reading or comprehending anything, I’ve tried reading questions first, the questions are too long to remember as I read. Does anyone have any tips for how they have overcame reading comprehension tests or study tips in general? Thanks!

Aptitude

Did you guys see a lot of literal equations on the test? Trying to dumb this down as much as I can before the test to see what I should be most focused on to pass. Any help in that is much appreciated. I have a very good shot at landing a apprenticeship and joining the brotherhood but gotta get past this test

Alright I need some knowledge. Basically I have bad adhd. I was on up to 60mg of vyvanse as a child ages 9 through like 16. I’m 23 now and been unmedicated til now. Other day I got put back on vyvanse. First 2 days I took it didn’t feel much it’s only 20mg. My cousin gave me his 5mg Adderalle because he doesn’t take them and I have a huge exam coming up so I wanted to make sure I have something. Other night I went rouge and wanted to have a good time. Ik this is extremely stupid but in a 12 hour window I had about 100mg of Adderal IR and 120mg of the vyvanse. Last dose Sunday morning around 9am. I realized I probably can’t responsibly take this medication so I’ve stayed away from it. Was feeling kinda crappy Sunday and yesterday now it’s Tuesday and I’m having really bad brain fog and anxiety. How long will this last? What can I do to feel better? Again this was just one night. I haven’t had any previous stimulants before this. Will I recover from this? Again I understand it was stupud and I should probably stay off the medication I just need advice idk if I should just deal with this cold turkey or taper down. I didn’t expect withdrawal cuz it’s only a one night thing so idk really what to do.
