>You might try a little lithium... maybe 150mg (half a 300mg generic tab). I think it is supposed to antagonize stimulants. I slept quite soundly on higher doses in the past.. Another idea would be to take your Adderall only once in the morning and only take dexedrine later on in the day so you don't get the long half-life hangover from the l-isomer causing insomnia problems. I suppose you could take 10mg of Adderall first thing AM, then dexedrine 5mg in the afternoon and early evening, and then even mph 10mg closer to bedtime.
