What people say about Lisdexamfetamine and sleep
“I really think it's completely impossible to deep sleep on XR amphetamines because the brain is drugged into awake mode.”
“I'm at 40mg, it got better with 40mg compared to 30 but it's still pretty noticeable. I tried 60mg but it caused anxiety and emotional issues and I couldn't sleep.”
“I felt anxious, had headaches, lost sleep and appetite, and overall felt like it made my ADHD worse.”
