They started me on 10 lmao, I'm probably gonna end up having to get bumped up relatively soon but for the first time in my life I've been able to sleep, and for the first time in probably a decade I've been able to read for leisure
I've been on adderall/ vyvanse for going on 12 years now. One thing I struggled with was waking up later in the day, taking my pill, and being unable to sleep, so I had to choose between my meds and my sleep.
But! A few years ago I talked to my doctor and the solution we came to was that instead of one 30 mg pill, I'd have a prescription of 10mgs and one of 20mgs, so if I woke up at an appropriate time I'd take both, if I woke up a bit late It'd take the 20, and if I woke up late I'd take the 10 so I didn't have to go without or be awake all night
I've got this , it's commonly comorbid with ADHD and the adderall helps me so much with me being able to actually wake up bc before the adderall I would sleep through 4 alarms and a bed vibrating thingy and all the lights would flip on, I even put a garage light in my room that I had flip on every morning and I'd sleep through that too. With the adderall I can get up and be just lucid enough to take my pill and then that actually wakes me up all the way.
Weird how things present themselves differently in different people I guss
holy shit
There's a name for the misalignment between what feels like the most restful way for me to sleep (and the fact that I'm most alert and creative between 3 and 5 am) and what society expects of me?
ayyy recently got diagnosed and holy shit adderall makes life easier

Literally, before Adderall I could literally remember when I had restful nights of sleep bc it was like once every 6-8 months
