Hello again =)

it appears like we have even more in common.

I have always been kind of a hyper and anxious person. I have horrible effects with Caffeine. anxiety, tremors, irritability, heart racing, you name it! I have always had problems with concentration..I feel like do everything at half the speed of anyone else..terrible thought organization..talk excessively..interrupt people. Anyhow, I never thought I could have ADHD because of my caffeine reaction. (I also have problems with sudafed). I was recently desperate about my new job (just could not keep up) and very fearfully tried stimulant meds. I experienced some bodily symptoms, but less anxiety with the stimulants! I am doing better on the long-acting vyvance and have only experienced physical symptoms when I forgot to eat. Perhaps due to its slow release mechanism and less emphasis on norepinephrine. See the calm on vyvance thread. I babble on and on about this topic.
