I tried dextroamphetamine (IR vyvanse) for about 2 months and went back to XR (vyvanse). My doctor wasn’t a proponent of switching to IR. She said you’re less likely to crash on XR because of the gradual release.
I felt like my sleep quality was about the same, maybe slightly better with IR. The flexibility of IR is nice but I felt like it didn’t work as well for me. I couldn’t find the right dose and I was more irritable. Also I have a hard time remembering to take my vyvanse so it was annoying having to remember to take an IR 2x a day.
That’s why I switched to IR and it helped with the sleep issue but it does get tricky managing my doses esp bc I don’t take adderall everyday. I found that taking 5 mg at a time is most helpful and I take about 15mg throughout the day. Latest dose is usually 3pm. I think the XR would release low doses throughout the day even into the night

Thanks! Might give this a shot. With consulting there are days I need to be “on” more than others.
I think XR is more effective overall. The IR is very quick IMO and it’s hard to remember to take again
Have you considered lowering your XR dosage if this is an ongoing issue?
I couldn’t remember for the LIFE of me to take the second dose halfway through the day with IR. I already have enough trouble staying consistent with my one XR a day.
