I have ADHD (dx'd as an adult) and have been taking Adderall for about 2.5 years. Every once in a while I go off it for awhile just to remember why I take it :-) When I stop taking it I start having dreams and my sleep is distrupted. At this point I have other the other aspects of my life well managed and would like to go off the adderall an just manage my symptoms other ways. But I find the sleep disturbance challenging to deal with. I'm not sure if it is just a withdraw symptom that will lessen with time. Usually what happens when I go off it is I have a few sleep disturbed nights then a really freaky dream and then I decide...its time to start taking it again. Either that or I start snapping at my kids when i get overstimulated.

I'm not quiet premenopausal but likely cutting it close.
