If you think that the medicine is keeping you up, try arranging another schedule with your doctor. Ex: take in the morning instead of at night
The most effective treatment for ADHD is a combination of medication and behavioral therapy. Using both of these therapies ensures proper treatment of the specific cause of ADHD for each individual. There are stimulant and non-stimulant options for the medication therapies.
World records for days without sleep have surpassed 10 days. Theoretically, one does not need sleep, but will function less effectively without the "recharge" it provides to the body and mind.
Lower your dose of medication. If that doesnt work, you probly dont have really bad adhd. Having horrible and newly discovered adult adhd, I have been on concerta, adderall and vyvnase. I started at 18mg concerta and wasnt satisfied with my focus until I got bumped up to 70mg Vyvanse. I take 70mg everyday and i am able to take naps throughout the day, and go to bed normally. Through my experience, being a college student, i have seen people (who are not prescribed) take 30mg aderall to study and not be able to sleep for 2-3 days. If this is the case for you, you dont need it. If you have bad adhd you could take a 30mg Aderall or a 70mg Vyvanse at 7am and be yawning by 12pm. Even the first time i ever took aderall, i was able to sleep normally, which is how i actually discovered i had adhd. Adhd meds can help anyone focus, but theyre meant to help the people who cant focus without them
Not really possible.
People can only go without sleep for about two days. Then they just have to fall asleep. Ive stayed up 4 days straight.
It depends on the persons body and how it reacts to the loss of sleep

Not from going without sleep. The alcohol will eventually kill you, though.

It depends on the speed - At 2 mph it would take five days without sleep - so ten days with sleep.
