I started taking Adderall XR about 6 months ago... started off with 10mg for a week and then bumped up to 20mg and all was going great. I was sleeping great at night and any stomach issues I was having went away after the first couple weeks. Then about 2 weeks ago, I started having severe insomnia and the burning/gnawing feeling in my stomach started up again (only at night though). So the first thing I thought of was, what if I was taking too much Adderall? So I went back down to 10mg, but all that did was make me really sluggish during the day... didn't make any difference at night as far as not being able to sleep and my stomach hurting. I tried melatonin, which worked great for getting me to sleep, but then at around 1-2am I would wake up because my stomach was killing me and then I was wide awake for the rest of the night.

So here I am online trying to find some answers before I lose my mind... and then it hits me! What if these nighttime problems I'm having are not from too much Adderall... but from not enough! What if coming down off from it in the evening/night is what is causing it? So tonight I'm trying something new... It's about 8pm and I just took 10mg... then tomorrow morning, I'm going back up to 20mg at my usual 6am and then I'll take another 20mg at 6pm. I'll be back tomorrow night to post my results!
