Does Vyvanse Cause Sleeplessness?

Hello, I take Vyvanse 50mg and have been doing so now everyday since around October. Sometimes I can sleep, no problem, other times I m up practically all night only getting 2-3 hours of sleep even after drinking TWO cups of SleepyTime Tea. Is there a sleeping medication I can take (when needed) that would be safe to take 10-12+ hours after taking Vyvanse? Thanks!

Gosh yes. Vyvanse is an amphetamine. It is supposed to make people more awake. Indeed, it is ONLY ADHD people who don't always have this happen. Benadryl is a fairly safe anti-histamine without interaction with vyvanse. BUT changing the dose and timing of the vyvanse is a better way to control its side effects.
