Is It Safe To Take Zzzquil On Day As Adderall Intake?

Hi I have experienced insomnia about two weeks apart where I slept maybe an hour. Most nights I can’t fall asleep until 2-3 and some nights I fall asleep normally. I believe it is from college stress since it started once I got back at school, but my main question is; is it safe to take zzquil on days I take my Adderall? My doctor has me on one dose when needed of Adderall XR 30mg of my adhd, and it typically last until 9-10 pm. However, the nights where I had an hour of sleep I did not take my medication but on or off it I’m still struggling to get a full sleep during the week. I just wanted to know on the days I take my medication can I take zzquil before bed and how many days in a row is safe to take of zzquil.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is better if you do not take any medicine for insomnia. You change your habit and you don't take nap in afternoon.

You do exercise regularly and do yoga, meditation is helpful. Sleeping time is variable according to person's age, stress. Be happy and enjoy your day.

You can take medicine if there is emergency.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
