I have had trouble with sleeping! I have been on Vyvanse for 2 years and I find it works well but the side effect that I hate having to deal with is the waking up at 3:30 am when i go to bed at 12 or 11pm. I can usually control the insomnia by sticking to a sleep schedule and filling my day with lots of things to do, and when I wake up trying to just not move and like still and think of relaxing my whole body, but it get difficult trying to get passed the insomnia, especially when I have been of my meds for a week, (like during christmas break) I go off meds during the break cause I go back home and think of it as a break and when I’m on vyvanse I feel like I should be using this focus and energy I have.
I am never sure if my insomnia is due to my meds or the lack of eating (cause when i wake up i usually feel hungry) or the kind of dry mouth feeling causeing me to feel hungry? I dont know if anyone can shed light on how to deal cause I dont wanna start swithching meds.
