Took First Dose, Couldn't Sleep..

I'm a 21 year old male, whose had his history of drug abuse, including abuse of adderall as well as taking vyvanse when NOT prescribed it. Well now i AM prescribed vyvanse for my add and i got prescribed to 50mg capsules, yesterday was my first day to take it and i took ONE like I'm supposed to at 7 am yesterday morning, and that was ALL I took. Went through the day and was of course more focused and producdive than usually am w/not on these meds, but then i wento bed @ like 10:30 and ended up laying in my room all night w/out anything close to sleep. It got to about 4 this morning and i was like f*** i gotta be somewhere @630 so i took todays dose at that hour. And whats weird is i took ONE again, like I'm sopposed too and a little while after i fell asleep for about a half hour I'm guessing, and thats when my Mom woke me up at 6 o'clock and by then i just woke up feeling the effects of the vyvanse and was in a sweat and my heart was racing, i took some deep relaxing breaths to slow it down. But my question is, why did i not sleep last night? I took one 50 mg capsule and @ 730 am and dindin't drink any caffeine or nothin stimulating all day yesterday. Now i'm on todays dose which will prolly wear off by like 5 or 6 tonight so IDEALLY i should get some sleep? Right? I'm really trying to take this medicine honestly and not abuse it, so i'll be functional everyday becuz i'm only 43 days sober and can easily get back into my old ways and don't wanto, so why couldn't i sleep? I've taken 60s before and slept @ night after taking them at like 8 or 9 in tha morning.

That sounds like quite a dilemma, since you have to take it. Is it possible that you are taking a different brand of vyvanse than you previous had (when you weren't prescribed it)?

I only wonder because certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in each brand, are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. Because everyone is different, your body may agree with one brand over the other, due to how you feel or based on whatever side effects present themselves.

When you switch brand names, the drug itself doesn't change, but rather the binders or fillers that they put with it, and people react differently to each brand partly due to this I would imagine.

This is the best reasoning I can conclude right now. If anyone else has any personal experience with this it would be great if you could share it with us. Thanks!
