That is an interesting idea. I think my naps are far more productive almost because I've got some stimulant in me. (My brain is "on" nearly the entire time, but I can feel myself step down through the stages approaching sleep, and I know I've actually slept when I become aware that the contant chatter in my head has been making absolutely no sense.) ... I will keep this in mind to try once the shortage of Dexi is no longer an issue (life has been harder as I take less than my normal dosage out of fear there won't be any when my next refill is due ...)
> You could ask your psychiatrist if it would be okay to take a tiny dose (say, 2.5mg) of Dexedrine IR before bed to counter the withdrawal. This is the practice favored by my psychiatrist. He said that - bar four nights of initial insomnia - it generally improves sleep in his ADHD patients.
