I'm taking a break from one of my ADHD meds, Vyvanse. I'm having such issues with my sleep right now that I'm trying to help by doing various things like cutting down on caffeine. (I fall asleep OK, but can't stay asleep for more than a few hours. The total hrs I sleep each night has plummeted.) I feel like I've done all the obvious things, so I'm stopping the Vyvanse to see if I get better sleep without it. I just finished the summer quarter at school and have 5 weeks before Fall quarter starts, so it seems like a good time to experiment with a break from Vyvanse. I've never felt it kept me up before, but maybe it is contributing to my current sleep problem. I take a second med for ADHD, Wellbutrin, and I moved this prescription to the AM instead of PM. Maybe that will be less stimulating for me.
Has anyone else found that their ADHD prescription affected their sleep? I am not sure mine is contributing to my poor sleep and I wonder if others have this?
