No I dont think so I take 70mg at 10PM and sleep one hour later without waking up once, I think Vyvanse (of course if you have real ADHD) regulates all your life, I mean makes you get up in mornings and sleep at night... You ll have a very nice life with Vyvanse, thats my story with this drug
Jc-crews,
Can I ask what you are taking the med for? My son was on it for Adhd and was told not to take it past 11:00am because he would have trouble sleeping that night.
I do not take the same medication and though you didn't say, I am assuming that a doctor prescribed this for you. I take Adderal and in the beginning it did take a little time for my body to adjust to my medication. I was on 30 mg I still ran down around 2 to 3 p.m. It was increased to 60 mg. one 30 mg. at about 8 a.m. and another 30 around noon. When I took the second part at noon it did keep me up a little longer so the doctor has me take the second 30 mg. at 10 a.m. Give yourself a little time to adjust and if it does keep you up, talk with your doctor. He/she may need to adjust or change your medication. If you are ADHD you will probably feel much better but try to have a little patience. Please keep trying it is so worth it.
Why would you be taking Vyvanse if you dont have ADHD? If this medication wasnt prescribed for you, you shouldnt be taking it. Yes, it is possible that you may have difficulty sleeping after taking this medication.
vyvanse is also used for depression, not by itself but as an adjunct to their ad. some depressives take it to counteract the too tired, zombie-like feeling they get from other meds. as time goes by, it will probably be used off-label for many things. that's the reality of it.
Oh be quite. Why do u care? It's irrelevant to his question. He asked if it kept him up all night. He didn't ask if someone would please judge him. Grow up
@Gofugurself why do YOU care- posters are trying to add commentary- it IS relevant.. get outta here.
To the poster- yes- Vyvanse will keep you up if you are prescribed it or not. My concern is that in order to be given an Rx for any stimulant, usually your Doc will prescribe ECG's, bloodwork etc. to be sure that it's safe for you to take stimulants. If you find that it's working to help you focus, please get to your doctor before you take any more- best to have an Rx from your doctor. These medications carry a big risk- you must be screened to avoid things like heart failure.
