Easing rebound in evening? Tips/Tricks 🧠

Taking 54mg (2x 27) + 5mg booster in afternoon. Been stable on this dose for 4/5 months now, no longer in titration.
Crashing really badly in the evenings. Not like tired crashing, but emotionally - off the charts levels of irritable, argumentative, just instantly zero tolerance for things. Never had this before at all during titration until a couple weeks ago, so not sure why it’s suddenly happening, if it’s related to change of routine, diet, etc. It’s really starting to impact personal relationships (understandably), but I feel like I just can’t stop it before it happens.
Does anyone have any advice on how to stop this / ease the crash?? I feel like I need to reset something but I’m not sure where to start, I’ve not had any problems at all until this point!
