Hello, I'm new here, but I've been on the forums a few times just looking at them as an unregistered member. Now I've taken it to the next level and actually joined!

I wanted to ask if anyone who has been or is on Adderall XR has had sleep problems. I can't stop my mind from thinking-- it's terrible! I used to take Vyvance, which I absolutely LOVED, but I had to switch (long story) and ended up trying Adderall XR after a generic Adderall. If I took Vyvance too late in the morning, the medication would not be worn off by bed time, so I had trouble sleeping with that too, but taking vitamin C before bed takes care of that perfectly. I've tried it with Adderall XR, but it has no effect that I can see. If it wouldn't have been for Christmas break, I would be going on a few weeks now with sleep deprivation, but, as goes with ADHD, I was able to exhaust myself through reading, fall asleep, and wake up later in the morning than I should have. I can't do that now because I'm back at college.

This problem is (obviously) so annoying! I have the option of either finishing up the Adderall XR or switching to another med-- generic Ritalin- but the Adderall cost a little more and I don't just want to waste it. Still, I need my sleep!

So, to round up the questions: -Has anyone else had this problem with Adderall XR? -What did you do about it? -Should I switch to the generic ritalin right away or stick the Adderall out?

Thank you so much! Emily
