Struggling with Adderall XR and Sleep

Adderall xr is perpetuating sleep problems. On it I get five or less hours of sleep plus an unavoidable mid day nap. Off of it I can’t keep my eyes open… literally slept 20 out of 24 hours once… do you have other suggestions? I’ve also tried Vyvanse

Have you considered switching to the short-release version? I found it more helpful than XR and Vyvanse— it allows for better control over periods of activity, and if I feel that I only need one instead of two on a given day, I don’t have to worry as much about what time I take it. I also found that XR/Vyvanse didn’t work as long as they were supposed to (I’d have a huge crash 4-6 hrs in), but this may not have been your experience.
