Hello-new here. 46 yo mom recently diagnosed with w ADHD I attentive type coupled with ongoing depression. Taking Vyvanse 50mg and Wellbutrin 150 XL. Combo seems to really help with mood and motivation, but I cannot sleep--at all!
I can't take melatonin bc it triggers RLS for me. I have tried all the go-to meds: Gabapentin, trazadone and topamax made me horribly sleepy/zoned out next day (canceled effects of Vyvanse&Wellbutrin) and clonidine didn't help and caused major hair loss.
Years ago I was only on Wellbutrin and took Ambien for the insomnia it caused. Worked well, but fearful of it's addictive qualities and maybe too extreme since I have small children that I need to hear at night!
Also used to take adivan (sp?) for evening anxiety and it helped with sleep. Wondering if I should ask doctor this? Or, is it also too habit forming?
Has anyone else experienced this? I am desperate...I don't know how I can function without sleep...I feel.so unhealthy! Don't want.to.change my meds bc it is the first combo to work (tried just about all the SSRI's and SNRI's without success, and focalin made me very tired).
Any feedback is so welcomed and appreciated.
Vyvanse making me more distracted? Hyperfocus?
Vyvanse too subtle?
Vyvanse great the first three days but the next two not so much 
Dealing with insomnia
New Medication after Vyvanse?
Yes, I was definitely activated on Wellbutrin. And adding vyvanse to the mix would double the problem because they both get lots of epinephrine (adrenaline) into your brain, keeping you wired into the wee hours. You might want to consider either dropping one or the other or lowering one or both doses. You could also ask to try a short-acting stimulant instead, like adderal. In any case, bring the matter up with your prescriber - perhaps they will have a creative solution. And good luck! I hope you find the right fit.
Thanks so much for the feedback--very helpful!
