Adderall helped my anxiety since it was driven by being overwhelmed with everything I had to do all the time. Even my other anxiety reduced since I had more emotional energy for life’s real problems vs crying over work.

I’ve found that vyvanse is a lot more smoother (yet longer lasting) compared to adderall.
What’s your mg?
20mg. Thank you for the info :)
I think the side effects are worse in the beginning and it slowly gets better. I wasn’t doing it correctly at first. I think I was taking 10 mg adderall twice a week and I hated it so much, I was very irregular with it. After a a couple of months or so of trying different medications, I went back to adderall and my side effects improved a lot. There are some side effects that I still get (suppressed appetite, lighter sleep, cold hands, dry mouth), but overall much better.
And my anxiety is way lower when I take adderall now
Update for everyone:
Took half this morning (my doc told me it was fine, to see how I feel on it) and wow did I feel like myself again! I’ll definitely take the full pill next time as focus wasn’t amazing, but even from taking half, I noticed the world felt much clearer. It was like putting on glasses after having blurry vision for so long.
Vyvanse could make your heart race the first few times you take it but after that it levels out. My resting heart rates has been as low as 68 on it. I take two break days a week to avoid developing a tolerance so I've been at 30mg for about a year. It's longer release so I take my breaks on Wednesdays/Thursdays and Sundays. I also take an extended break periodically
i have anxiety / depression and take lexapro for that, and 30 mg vyvanse has been fine, no anxiety yet! i’m actually increasing to 40mg next fill
I recently started Adderall and as someone who also has reservations about taking medication, it’s going well. I’m also on a low dosage, 5 mg twice a day and going up to 15 mg twice a day. Like D1 said, I’ve also heard that Vyvanse isn’t that intense.
