I can take this one step further. I take Vyvanse 60 mg and have a ‘as needed’ script of adderall ir 10 mg. In my case, Vyvanse works great for 5 hrs. My doctor added adderall to the mix to help prolong my concentration throughout the day. However, when the Vyvanse wears down in my system (4-6 hours later depending on my sleep cycle, food eaten, water intake, coffee ect.) I sometimes take adderall and it about puts me to sleep at my desk. It’s the craziest thing. I’ve never heard anybody tell me that adderall puts them to sleep like this. I’m starting to believe that the tiredness that I’m experiencing is due to a amphetamine – caffeine mixture, and more amphetamine only makes it worse. This is definitely not what I need while I’m working on improving my concentration.
Good luck!
