Started taking Nuvigil at first did not help me stay awake. After starting Xyrem the Nuvigil was causing severe anxiety and dysphoria. After 6 weeks I told my doctor I could not take this medication any longer. I stopped the Nuvigil and a week later resumed my Vyvanse. I was taking Vyvanse 60mg daily since I was now on Xyrem my doctor and decided to start at 40mg since I was taking the Xyrem and getting the sleep I wasn't getting before. 40mg of Vyvanse is enough to get me through my day without and sleep attacks.
