I have ADHD, and take adderall XR for it. However, for the past almost month, I have been without it because my pharmacy has a shortage of it. At first, I didn’t experience immediate problems except for increased appetite and maybe a few other minor issues but for the past week, i have developed anxiety and worry about things more strongly than I typically do. Is this normal? And based on your experience, does adderall “decrease” anxiety?

    While yes it is a yes or no question, sometimes questions benefit from the discussion behind the yes or no.

    If you don’t like social media don’t be here. The guy just wants some anecdotal advice. It’s not hard to ignore and move on if you don’t want to contribute.

      As I clarified in another comment, I might’ve been a bit grumpier than I intended in my original reply due to some stuff that happened today. And the personal experience may be more valuable to others than it is to be so I didn’t think about that really. Maybe partially because of those same frustrations I skipped that thought, or not, I don’t know. Either way I didn’t mean to come over as rude, my bad.

      However, I do like forums like these for discussions about certain topics, and my initial thought was that this is a question for a medical professional and wouldn’t lead to any fun discussion, which is why I replied in the way that I did, if maybe with the wrong tone to the comment. So “not being here” isn’t the solution, in my opinion.
