I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this.
I haven't been prescribed anything yet but I have suffered severe insomnia in the past while on certain antidepressants and am scared that medication for ADHD, especially a stimulant, would bring it back.
However I saw a video from an ADHD specialist where he was explaining that although people associate stimulants with wakefulness, if someone truly has ADHD they actually work to quieten the mind and shouldn't cause insomnia.
One of the antidepressants I was on was Venlafaxine/Effexor, which is also used as a second-line ADHD med. I saw an improvement in motivation and focus whilst on it but had to stop taking it because of the unbearable insomnia it caused.
I know it will be trial and error but am interested to hear from anyone who has any feedback.
