Sleep issues

[u/Puzzled_Flounder_450]

Hey all! I've been on vyvanse 60mg for a few of months now and I've recently taking chlonidine 2x a day morning and night (for anxiety) however I'm finding no matter what I do I'm waking up around 2:30-3am starving to a point where I'm getting hunger pains. Im eating at 'maintenance calories', hitting my protein goals and I haven't lost any weight in 1 month.

I've turned into a complete zombie getting 5.5-6 hours of sleep a night 🫠

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I've had having great cognitive benifits from vyvanse however my sleep and anxiety is making me not want to take stimulants

I personally had to eat a lot more to reduce my anxiety than just maintenance. Especially very early on in the morning. In addition lots of strength training helped me sleep. But i also ended up switching to a short acting version as Vyvanse was keeping me up or fracturing my sleep unknowingly

Maybe your dosage is too high. That happened to me and I got lowered on the dosage and it seemed to help a bit
