Anyone take sleeping pills to help with winding down at night? I need my adderall to function productively throughout the day but find myself exhausted by the middle of the week after not being able to sleep.

Used to take trazodone and found it very helpful with minimal side effects

like

I am. I actually only took it on an as-needed basis. So some weeks it was every night, but most weeks it was less. Eventually I stopped, after 8 months or so. But that was also function of addressing other things in my life - reduced stress, therapy, etc.

Yes, ask you psychiatrist for trazadone. It helps put you and keep you asleep.

This is so comforting, my psychiatrist just prescribed this yesterday. I also take magnesium and it helps with the quality of sleep but not with falling asleep. Excited to give the trazodone a try now.

Magnesium

I take ambien but apparently should look into trazadone. Valarian root helps too.

I have a similar issue. I try to take magnesium (I use natural calm) about 20 minutes before I plan to head to bed. If I have a really difficult time, my doctor prescribed hydroxyzine, which is basically a heavy duty Benadryl. Some people respond well to melatonin. The only thing that I do use consistently is magnesium, because I have a fear that I will become dependent on any other sleeping pill.

Yeah, that is definitely a thing lol thankfully I only get munchies on days I do not take Vyvanse or Adderall.

I know exactly what you mean OP. How late in the day are you taking your adderall? I have noticed when I take my second dose too late in the day I stay up all night tossing and turning. I have to make sure to take both doeses early on in the day.

I take 25mg no later than 9:30 each day but I’ve taken it as early as 7 and still find myself unable to sleep. I started taking trazadone and it’s been amazing. No grogginess and I fall asleep within 30min of taking it.

like

Returning with an update: the trazadone really helps. I was prescribed 50mg but told only to take half and that does the trick. I fall asleep without issue and don’t wake up groggy. I only take it 1-2x a week when I can’t afford to be up super later.

Its better to take calculated risks than regret for your whole life.

Thoughts?
