Hello everyone,
I’ll keep my questions brief. I’m in my mid-40s. I was diagnosed with ADHD in April 2025. I take Elvanse 30mg. I’m also now taking Ramipril 2.5mg and Bisoprolol 1.25mg once a day each, because my blood pressure isn’t great anymore.
During the week at work, I can stay awake. But in the evenings, I’m absolutely exhausted and incredibly tired. I’m constantly worn out and have a huge need for rest and sleep.
I work too much overtime and keep getting in trouble for it, and now I’m facing disciplinary action because excessive overtime is considered a violation of the company agreement. I’ve had equal status with severely disabled people since 2025. My employer is aware of this.
Do you also experience this constant fatigue/exhaustion despite medication? Like, could you sleep anytime, anywhere?

What are your experiences with conflicts at work? Has anyone had personal experience with disciplinary action? In my case, it’s in the public sector. Perhaps excessive overtime has also been an issue, as people try to compensate for extra time with overtime.
Also mid-40s, also on Elvanse, also exhausted all the time.
In my case though I don’t necessarily think it directly connected to my medication. I’m somewhat overweight, kind of out of my element at work, and live in this world. Also, I have sleep apnoea, which is treated with CPAP, but who knows how well it works.
As for overtime: nah, I do the hours I’m paid, and not a minute longer. If I haven’t finished a task, well, It’ll still be there tomorrow.
