What people say about Dextroamphetamine and anxiety
“Keeps me focused without the anxiety Adderall started giving me; it helps me relax even.”
“I felt anxious, had headaches, lost sleep and appetite, and overall felt like it made my ADHD worse.”
“the 30mg a day has been giving me more negative side effects then good...I can't go 2-3 days without it, because I enter a state which includes severe depression, complete lack of motivation, no drive for life, withdrawal from social contact, and extreme anxiety.”
“I'm 1 month in on dextroampetamine 20mg IR and this really brings the anxiety out of me. It will actually make me focus on it and causes my to raise my heart rate whenever I have a anxiety 'burst'.”
