Call ur doctor: Insomnia can be a common side effect. I would recommend you call your doctor who prescribed it to discuss and address this issue.

Take it earlier : Vyanase usually lasts between 10 to 14 hours.If you are a slow metabolizer, then vyanse can last even longer. Take it earlier and if no improvement in 2-3 weeks switch to another neurostimulant with a shorter half life.
