I’m having similar experiences with fluctuating anxiety and unstable mood. I’ve also noticed that my natural tendency to have OCD symptoms, which had stopped, has now returned since starting on stimulants. I agree that its a good idea to talk to your doctor.

I was on an SSRI medication for 13 years and it took me a lot of struggle to get off it, because it wasn’t helping, so I am trying natural alternatives before I consider going back to chemical methods of treating my anxiety. At the moment I’m experimenting with a natural GABA supplement which also contains other ‘calming’ ingredients. I tried NAC (an amino acid) for the increased OCD, but it tended to increase my physical anxiety by giving me slight nausea and an increase in blood pressure, well that’s what it felt like, so I stopped taking that.

So far the GABA seems to be helping, but I’m only taking a low dose of 200mg which is part of a formula called “True Calm’. I have 500mg supplements, but haven’t tried them yet.
