Hi, I know your not doctors. Just looking for opinions and support.

I am an adult. I am prescribed a stimulant. I am not new to stimulants. I have taken them on and off for 4 years now. I was just wondering do most people get cold feet when taking a stimulant?

Its weird and interesting to me that two different stimulants make me feel totally different. I was on and off vyvanse (only as needed) for about 4 years. Two hours after taking it I could take a nap. I could take vyvanse any time in the day and be able to sleep at night.
I am now trying concerta and it feels so much stronger. I can not take a nap on it. I took it at 11 am and when it was bed time I could NOT sleep at all and got very sweaty. Any one else experienced this or similar??

Any body else feel taking another psychiatric drug like an antidepressant for example with a stimulant helps you not get depressed on the days you don't take it and helps you be able to sleep?

I'm going to start buspar soon at night. I feel maybe taking buspar at night and concerta in the morning will help me be able to sleep vs taking concerta alone and not being able to sleep.

Because concerta caused me to not be able to sleep and caused me to sweat at night I have not tried it again. I think ill try it again once the buspar has been in my system for a few days.

Thoughts? opinions ??
