Trouble Sleeping with Adderall XR
I was just diagnosed with ADHD and am on a trial dose of Adderall XR 15mg. I am also taking 300mg of Effexor for Anxiety/Depression. That might change now that I've been diagnosed with ADHD. It appears that a lot of my Anxiety/Depression issues were actually ADHD issues. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has had difficulty sleeping while taking the Adderall. I've heard trouble sleeping is one of the main side effects. Any suggestions on how to avoid this side effect, or how to deal with it? Thank you in advance. Shannon |

Sleeping with Adderall XR
My 7 year old son started on 10MG about 3-4 months ago. When he first started he couldn't get to sleep but once he was asleep he slept well. It did get better with time. Good luck! |

Sleep Help
Hi Shannon: Congratulations on the diagnosis and on starting a treatment plan for your ADHD! You're right that sleep problems do sometimes accompany ADHD meds, but some adults with ADHD actually find that they sleep better once they receive a definitive diagnosis and start treatment. It's difficult to predict. But here are some great ADDitude articles that offer tips for combatting common sleep problems associated with ADHD...

I take Adderall XR 15 mg also
I just started taking Adderall XR; I was taking regular Adderall. I find that I have a hard time going to sleep; but then I sleep well, but sometimes wake up a bit early. I also notice that my heart seems to beat faster. I have depression, also and have been on Zoloft 50 for a year - my doctor says I may be able to go off the antidepressant eventually now that I've been diagnosed with ADHD. It sure is a journey - but aren't you glad you were finally diagnosed? We are some of the lucky ones. |
