Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for asking from HCM

You are taking Vyvanse 100 mg and Sertraline 25 mg. The drugs are causing side effects like insomnia and dry mouth. Most likely the problem of insomnia is occurring due to Vyvanse. You can discuss with your psychiatrist and can request to lower the doses to 50 mg in morning. This will result in better tolerability. Zoloft causes sedation and the drug should be taken in evening after dinner. This will help in good sleep in night and will not cause insomnia and tiredness in morning.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
