cannot sleep
i am currently taking 40mg of vyvanse at 7am daily (only skip doses when i’m sick), and i’ve been on this dose since march. i already have insomnia, but my sleep has gotten so much worse since i first began vyvanse in february, which i expected.
i take 150mg of trazodone and have been taking vitamin c because i’ve read that it could help get it out of my system. although my trazodone can absolutely knock me out on a day that i don’t take vyvanse, it does absolutely nothing when i do. it takes hours to fall asleep, and when i finally do, i toss and turn, can’t get any deep sleep, and consistently wake up at either 3am or 5am for hours until i finally give up and get ready for work.
i work until 6pm, so taking it any earlier than 7am wouldn’t be ideal. plus, when it takes me hours to fall asleep, i need that extra time in the morning to catch up when i can. does anyone else have the same problem? any advice on things i can talk to my psych about?
TLDR: i barely sleep on vyvanse and need some advice from people who have also tried everything
