There's no fixed universal rule, but some people find spacing them out helps manage the cumulative early-day effects (like nausea or appetite suppression stacking), and since the GLP-1 medication is typically a once-weekly injection rather than a daily pill, the more relevant daily timing consideration is usually just when to take the ADHD medication relative to meals to help manage appetite and energy. This is worth discussing directly with your provider based on your specific dosing schedule for both. References: https://obesitycanada.ca/healthcare-professionals/adult-clinical-practice-guideline/
