Sleep strategy
I had an appointment with my doctor to discuss the problems I've been having with the Vyvanse. Or what I thought was being caused by the Vyvanse anyway.
At one point I had gotten up to a 50 mg dose. After I passed my comprehensive test for my degree, I found that was too much. A few weeks after the test, I went down to 40 mg. That became too much as well. So I started adjusting the dosage between 40mg and 30mg. That is still too much.
So, I am now down to 30 mg. The headaches are pretty much gone but the insomnia remains. My doctor put me on clonidine at night to help me get to sleep. My wife also went out of town for a week so there was no one in bed to keep me up.
And guess what? The insomnia is still there. I even forgot to take my Vyvanse yesterday and still had problems with sleep. I was asleep by midnight (early for me even on normal nights because of my evening work schedule) but woke up at 3:00 am and couldn't get back to sleep for more than 2 hours.
So the 30 mg seems to be working. The insomnia is still here and I'm working on doing relaxing things at bed time.
