Xywav and Stimulants

I'm currently on 70 mg Vyvanse every morning with 10 mg Adderall IR as needed for later in the day. I am about to try Xywav for the first time. Those of you who are on it, are you stimulant-free now? do you still use stimulants but only as needed and at a lower dose? or are you still on the same stimulant regimen as before?

  1. I take adderall. But once in awhile I don't take it cuz I enjoy sleeping. because of Adderall, for some reason on the days I don't take it I don't excessively sleep way too much. I think it's because the Adderall is training my brain.

    1. Hi , this is a great question! Hopefully, a few other community members will chime in with their experiences but in the meantime, here's an article from our Patient Leader about her experience with Xywav: https://narcolepsy.sleep-disorders.net/living/medication-sleep-quality.
