Trouble Sleeping After Taking Adderall XR

I had the same issue so I switched to 2 different IR doses per day and it fixed the problem as long as I didn’t take it past 3pm

IR might be a better fit for you? Personally I have to take a 20mg XR in the mornings and 5mg of IR in the early afternoons on my work days to get anything done. 😭 Then i crash about 9 pm.

I’d give your body another week or so as it’s still trying to make sense of it. My suggestions: continue taking it as early as possible, avoid caffeine after 5pm , try to start going to bed earlier than usual to start the wind down process earlier so you can sleep sooner. I like to listen to white noise or beach waves & meditate myself to sleep.

I'm going to see about IR instead of XR, I'm getting used to this now and taking melatonin is helping me sleep but I feel like i need a higher dose of adderall to function during the day so if this gets raised ill prob have the sleep problems again
