I wonder if Vyvanse is a better choice for subtle, background ADD relief over Dextroamphetamine Extended Release Spansules, which I use to give me a steady level of medication for 8-12 hours at a time. I've never tried it since dextroamphetamine seems so much simpler and more reliable.
150 mg Vyvanse is a very large dose, equal to about 50mg d-amp released over 8 hours, so it's no surprise it woke you up. However, with my level of ADD, I have to be really careful laying my head down just to relax for a "minute" on therapeutic (non-stimulating) doses of d-amp. Dexedrine makes me very sleepy, I nod on it sometimes, and it cuts down the brain fog so the thought train stops and I just pass out the moment I hit the pillow, and I will sleep like a log, especially when peaking on the therapeutic dose. The sedation from D-amp gets annoying, and I have to use caffeine to offset it.
I'm sure that if anyone took 150-180mg Vyvanse (never taken Vyvanse), ADD or not, they would be tweaked, since ADD adults need more amps to get stimulated (low pf cortex DA levels to normal transmitting DA [goal of ADD meds] to excess DA levels [tweaked, motivated, productive, euphoric, insomniac, anorexic]), but they can get simulated just as much as normal people if they take a higher dose.
As for dosing before sleep i feel the same. Last night i set an alarm for 4 A.M. woke up to the alarm and parachuted 150mgs then fell back asleep. At about 6 i felt the effects and abruptly woke up with the oddest feeling.. almost like i had slept for weeks and my body had gotten the fullest rest possible along with lots of head tingles. This set my day up for a productive attitude![]()
