Has anyone tried medicine Elevanse?

I'm feeling calmer on it but I have trouble sleeping through the night and I wake up..

Feels way better for me than methylphenidate, which made me feel very wired and nervous. Lisdexamfetamine has a lot of a calmer vibe for me

I started Elvanse about a week ago, it helps with focus, but I too awake around 3 or 4 am and sometimes it's hard to get back to sleep. My internal radio starts and thoughts get all over the place. But it's not that bad every night. I believe it's just a temporary side effect. I hope...

Thanks for sharing, it gives me encouragement. I take Elevanse at 7 am, as soon as I get up. Sometimes even before breakfast. I've had a lot of stress at work lately and I see that's why I've had trouble sleeping. I'm drinking decaf coffee now and I'm on Elevanse 30.

Stress at work is always something that keeps me from sleeping, too. Or waking up in the middle of the night and having circular thoughts for hours … 😰

I’m on Elvanse with a 40 mg dose and I have some difficulties to sleep, too. But the earlier I take it the better. I tried 50 mg, too, but that made my heart rate go up in the middle of the day so I went back to the lower dose. Meanwhile I’m even able to drink coffee again without bad impact on my sleep. I tried CBD and other natural resources to sleep better but funny enough the best help (which I don’t use and would not recommend as a daily solution) is a beer 🙈

Jako codzienne rozwiązanie, które mi pomaga🙂 zasypiać polecam modlitwę, jak kto woli medytacje. Ja czytam Nowy Testament przed snem☺️

I’m on 20 mg right know. I think it works good. First I tried 30 mg but couldn’t sleep for a week. My sleep schedule is better now. When I pause Elvanse for some days it takes 1-3 days where I’m not tired in the evening but it gets better. I drink coffee every day. Sometimes my heart beats faster midday, but not everyday.

I’m on 30 mg right now and it helps a lot. It does make me a bit anxious during the day though.Do you drink caffeine with it too?

Ja nie pije już kawy, teraz tylko zbożowa inka i kawa bezkofeinowa. Takie też zalecenie lekarza.

I’m using Elvanse for 2 years now and it helps me really well. At what time of the day do you take it? I take it in the morning and then the effect is gone before I go to bed, so no sleep issues for me. How consistent is your sleep schedule?
