Hello Everyone, I really need advice because I’m not sure what else to do. About a month ago my manufacturer for my medication was switched to a brand called Amneal Pharmaceuticals. This caused me to have terrible side effects and I had to wait a week to get my regular manufacturer again. That week long break was absolutely horrible and I pretty much could not function. However once I started back with the Adderall 20 XR with Teva my original manufacturer my sleep has been terrible. I take 350-700 magnesium each night, 5 mg melatonin, I stretch, do yoga and guided meditation. I’m very hydrated, eating enough calories, and practice good sleep hygiene. There is no drastic life change or anything stressing me out. Everything in my life is the same and everything I’m currently doing is what I have been before I took that week break. I’m starting to think that because of the break my body has to get use to the medication all over again but it’s been a month. Idk if it’s because I took the break and started back with 20mg. I have not been able to get more than 5 hours of sleep a night and even then I’m waking up multiple times. This is affecting every aspect of my life as I’m too tired to do anything.

I have reached out to my doctor and she does not believe it’s because I took the break from the medication. She recommended I stop taking it for awhile but that’s not an options as I still have work and many other obligations that require me to take my medication….. and me stopping the medication is what caused this mess in the first place.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? How long will it take for my body to adjust and get back to what it was when I was taking the medication daily?. Is this normal to happen when you take a break and go back to the medication?
