Source: Tried for years to overpower the insomnia from my ADHD meds with melatonin, weed, CBD:THC edibles, booze, kava, diphenhydramine, etc. before finally going cold turkey on my adderall. With enough stimulants, it doesn't matter how much melatonin you take; you're not gonna have a good night's sleep edit: but you'll also be too tired to be productive or to do anything fun
I have no issues sleeping on 120mg of Vyvanse, I even find it easier to sleep.
Are you sure you're not misdiagnosed?
Certainly possible, but I'm sort of a textbook mild case of ADHD, just with the side case of insomnia being fairly prominent (which was true even before medication). Everybody reacts to medication in different ways, so I've just found I have to rely on coping strategies more than medication for my case. It's not a big deal and I'm at a point in my life where I can manage my ADHD symptoms in a way that doesn't affect my life too much. So for me, the side effects of the medication exacerbate my preexisting insomnia to the point that the drawbacks of adderall outweigh the benefits for my particular brand of ADHD.
Did you take slow release aderall? My aderall is worn off before I go to sleep and I actually sleep better since I take aderall because I spend more energy during the day.
No it's IR, but taken 20 mg in the morning and then 10 mg in the early afternoon. It just always wound up with the physical effects lingering much longer than the mental effects, so if I tried skipping the afternoon dose, then I'd wind up totally scattered and useless from about 3PM on.
The XR once in the morning worked a little better, but for whatever reason didn't really help the same way and I still had the insomnia from it.
Ah that’s unfortunate. The side effects are pretty bad especially with a high dose of
