Sorry, I'm late to seeing this!
DD (ADHD) has her morning issues as well. So now, she gets up, gets dressed, and takes her pill, and off to school we go. She does breakfast at school (honestly, a lot better breakfast than I could manage on a weekday morning!)....
From start to finish is 20 minutes. If I wake her up too much earlier, all heck breaks loose, as she would then have time to play, and trading play for school is a hard sell
I often wish there was a way to make the pill take effect sooner, but in the 2.5 years we've been doing this, this is the best way that works for her.
