ADHD, meds, and spravato = insomnia? 🙃😬🤔

Questions/Advice/Support

I recently got diagnosed adhd about a month ago and about 6 weeks in of taking taking vyvanse 30mg. 38 y/o woman here. I accidentally took it in the morning as routine and forgot about my spravato appt. yay adhd.

Luckily it was about 8-9 hours later that I had the appt. it usually wears off by the end of the day. Ended up in a trippy but most relaxing and giggly dissociation I’ve experienced since starting this treatment… (this was my 13th session).

idk if that is bc I had my Vyvanse earlier in the day, then my auvelity, then a coffee all before noon?? I usually refrain from both coffee and adhd meds on days of treatment (nightmare days lol), but anyhoo…

point is, I couldn’t fall asleep during the session. I was relaxed but not sleepy like usual and when unmedicated (no Vyvanse or coffee), I get hyper and restless for the first hour then sleep the 2nd hour with some John Hopkins psychedelic therapy music.

I was sort of tired when coming home and ate a light dinner thinking it’d be an early and good nights sleep….

nope. ended up wide awake with a pounding headache and unable to fall asleep. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙃

Anyone else?? No? Just me? 🤷🏻‍♀️
