I'm upping my dosage this month for the first time since I started taking medication. I've had very few side effects so far (trouble sleeping) but I'm worried with this higher dosage I'll get more of the bad along with more of the good. What do you guys use for insomnia or sleep issues while on ADHD medication? Thanks.

I've been trying brown noise recently which has been working for me. I heard it's supposed to work especially well with ADHD.

I've been trying melatonin but am still kind of struggling with the same issue. Does anyone have a natural solution ie tea, supplements etc? Not really interested in adding another drug.

Brown noise helps me a lot. It can be like a lullaby for my restless brain.

I have been fortunate and haven't had too many issues with insomnia or being able to sleep. If I take my meds on time I am usually able to come down and get to sleep because I am usually exhausted. Melatonin helps me when I can't quite fall asleep.

I'm watching the film "The Disruptors" and just crying (hellooooo emotional regulation issues). But it's so validating and frustrating at the same time. I've had a terrible several months at work, and I am relating so hard to the struggles even of the school kids in this. Like my boss is the teacher throwing me into the hallway because they are tired of me. It's also comforting to see who has excelled at their passion with it, even if I can't quite find mine and feel like I'm failing.
