Side effects are so daunting

I am struggling so so hard to stay taking this medication because the side effects are so daunting

Can’t eat for the entirety of the duration, which for me feels abnormally long,
Can’t sleep till 3/4am when I take it (which is between 7am-9am)
I feel so bored and anxious when I’m not being productive and the anxiety makes it harder to be productive
I get so unsociable, when someone texts me no matter who it is I just get so apathetic :(

I’m only on 30mg and I’m to move up to 50mg but the sleep issues I’m assuming would get even worse

I was on equasym/ritalin (50mg) and it worked for a bit until it didn’t, switched to this, and honestly it does work better for me but the side effects are so much more daunting especially since it lasts so much longer

How do people cope???
