Back in high school when I was able to use my parent’s insurance, I was on Strattera. But the generic version is, like, six times more expensive than Ritalin, so I’m thinking about trying something new.

I tried Vyvanse for a while. It fixes my ADHD really good, but also I only sleep 2-5 hours a night. I did that for too long before moving to Adderall. It doesn’t work as well but my wife was about ready to stab me for keeping her up. Also that little sleep can’t be good for you.
On Vyvanse now (diagnosed recently in my late 30s), and I haven’t had any sleep issues.
Maybe they started you on too high a dose?
In any case, I’m glad you found something that works for you!
I think it’s just different body chemistry. I wish I could still take it because it’s way more effective than Adderall, but my body just doesn’t metabolize it out of my system fast enough.
Ah yeah, that’s certainly a real possibility. We just gotta do our best out here. Best of luck!
