Vyvanse...Help!

I have tried most every ADHD medication and Vyvanse seems to work the best for me. The only problem is it has caused my insomnia to come back. I really don't want to get off this medication, but I have been getting so little sleep that I've developped a twitch as well as feeling really off during the day. Any suggestions?

Sleep Help

That must be frustrating. It is hard to function when you are sleep deprived. If you are interested in some tips that might help you fall asleep and stay asleep, check out these Expert Tips for Better Sleep, maybe you'll find a solution that works for you. It is worth a try. If you are having trouble turning off your brain, try some meditation or deep breathing before you go to bed. I am always amazed at how well it works.

Sleep tight, Dena

Vyvanse help

Have you considered lowering your dose? Or taking med earlier in the day? Vyvanse did release some new dosages late last year, maybe taking slightly less would still work for your attention deficit while allowing you to get your rest at night.

Good luck!
