Alcohol Issue- ADHD- Brain Fog
I had alcohol 2 days ago, didn't hit me then.
Since the past few days I've been feeling semi-drowsy, having brain fog. I have taken alcohol in the past but this hasn't happened before.
I am on ADHD medication (atomoxetine) 18mg twice daily.

It is possible that your symptoms could be related to the alcohol you consumed two days ago. Alcohol can affect your brain function and cause drowsiness, brain fog, and other cognitive impairments even after the initial effects wear off.
However, it is also possible that your symptoms are related to your ADHD medication, atomoxetine. Some people experience side effects such as drowsiness, fatigue, and cognitive impairment when taking this medication.
To determine the cause of your symptoms, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider. They can evaluate your symptoms, review your medication regimen, and perform any necessary tests to rule out other potential causes.
