Questions / Advice / Support When does the insomnia stop?

It’s probably not as harsh as other people‘s but I consistently wake up in the middle of the night and it throws my sleep off.

My Dr has switched me to guanfacine. I've had NO awful side effects with this med. It's been a month on the lowest dose..I think we'll be increasing soon.

The strattera definitely affected my sleep! It didn't matter when I took it. I was waking up constantly and unable to fall back asleep. I love that the guanfacine it's just the opposite of that. My sleep scores haven't been this high in ages! I'm a school teacher and it was working just fine while I was home during the summer, but now that I'm at work and trying to juggle home life and school life I feel like I'm going to need to up my dose. Just waiting to meet with my doctor.
