ADHD, racing thoughts, atomoxetine and
I have true ADHD, and one of my problems is difficulty sleeping because my mind keeps having racing thoughts and doesn’t feel calm.
Would atomoxetine help reduce these racing thoughts and make my brain calmer, potentially improving sleep? I know atomoxetine can cause insomnia in some people, especially if taken at night.
Has anyone with ADHD experienced improved sleep after starting atomoxetine, or does it generally make sleep worse? I would also like to know whether taking it in the morning is usually preferred.
Or my science is pseudosciences?
