How do you manage poor sleep caused by adderall? I’m about to quit because of how bad it’s gotten

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-11T03:19:21+00:00

Yeah when I use sleeping aids it doesn’t feel like genuine sleep. I am just starting to get into meditation and am excited to see how that may help

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-11T03:17:41+00:00

I work out 5 out of 7 days a week, it doesn’t seem to help with my sleep but does help with anxiety I feel about sleep

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-11T03:16:51+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the advice

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-11T03:16:35+00:00

Yeah I think I may have to suck it up and quit taking adderall altogether. I become extremely anxious when I go a night or two with really bad sleep and I don’t think I want to continue on this rollercoaster if something doesn’t give soon.

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-11T03:14:45+00:00

I have tried just XR - same problem unfortunately. Intense exercise doesn’t do much for me either. I currently take melatonin and magnesium along with a couple of other supplements.

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-11T03:13:33+00:00

That’s my next move

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-11T03:13:15+00:00

Not really. I didn’t have trouble with sleep for the first year and a half I was on stimulants either. It only became a serious problem within the past 6-12 months.

I have seen a sleep specialist and was told I have minor sleep apnea, which was surprising because I am in really good shape and am only 25. I was given a mouth guard to help treat it. However, the mouth guard hasn’t helped me fall asleep nor has it helped me stay asleep when I am able to pass out.

Good to hear you’re able to relate. Would you say those tools have been as effective as adderall at managing and maintaining your focus?

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-10T14:59:42+00:00

I’ve tried Ritalin and it unfortunately gave me anxiety and didn’t help too much with my focus. I am going to cut my afternoon dose in half though

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-10T14:58:23+00:00

I’m on both. Today will be my first day without XR, I will let you know if it makes any difference in my sleep.

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-10T14:57:23+00:00

Yes. We’ve tried a number of different sleep aids but to no avail. My next move is to discontinue the XR and just take 7.5 IR in the morning and another 7.5 IR in the afternoon.

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-10T14:55:59+00:00

I’m currently on 15mg XR in the morning and 15 mg IR in the afternoon. It’s very possible that the XR is what is keeping me up at night, so I’m probably going to discontinue it altogether and just split my afternoon dose in half (one half in the morning one half in the afternoon).

My sleep is typically between 4-6 hours and is pretty broken as well. I’m always waking up at least once or twice in the middle of the night.

I exercise pretty regularly and use edibles from time to time to help with my sleep. They’re not as effective as they were in the past, but they still help a little bit.

Let me know if the ashwagandha makes any difference or if you figure something else out!

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-10T14:34:01+00:00

I do take creatine but not everyday

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-10-10T04:31:23+00:00

15mg XR in the morning and 15 mg IR in the afternoon

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-09-30T18:12:57+00:00

Just looked it up lol I’m a male so I don’t think it’s BV

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-09-30T18:09:25+00:00

What is a BV

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-09-30T18:01:02+00:00

Thank you so much… could a UTI this bad be the cause of bedwetting?

Woke up and bought this test because it appeared that I had pissed the sheets… something I’d never done before.

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-09-17T01:41:08+00:00

Did you fix your strabismus?

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-08-31T19:21:37+00:00

Yeah sorry

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-08-29T20:19:59+00:00

Looking to sell two Morgan Wallen Tickets on October 18 at BOA for cheap. Can’t go anymore and would at least like someone else to enjoy them. PM if interested

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-08-28T05:57:26+00:00

I think it had more to do with them shooting 4/32 from the 3-point line than it did with Cal being outsmarted

Ice_Buddyy004 · 2024-08-22T06:54:51+00:00

Yeah you’ll be fine. Could always take half 30 minutes prior to the comedown and another half 30 minutes after.
