I take 20 mg. XR in a.m. and 20 mg. XR around 1 p.m. I no longer have the trouble sleeping that I used to...but when I started out with Adderall, Yes, I would sometimes wake up at 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. and be fully awake. No longer though...I guess my system has pretty much adapted. I suggest that you try lowering your afternoon dose if you possibly can, or, if the sleep continutes to be an issue, see if your Doc. will experiment with you on taking immediate release Adderall in the afternoon. Or, just wait it out and hope that "this (side effect) too will pass".
Has anyone experienced that they can't sleep at night with taking Adderall?
I'm only getting 2 hrs of sleep a night since starting on Adderall XR 30mg, at 6am & noon. Im also Bi-polar (just newly diagnosed) so I was wondering if it is maybe throwing me into a mania state. I didnt know if lack of sleep is a side effect or what. After sleeping for 2hrs at night, I dont wake up feeling exhausted but full of energy.
Any thoughts would be helpful.
