Reply To: Reaction to XR after taking a few years!?

[Geoduck]

Okay- no time to read all the posts, so I’m just responding to the first one:

OMG! YES!!! I actually did a little research and found that anxiety can develop after a few years of taking the drug. The reason I’m actually in this part of the forums is that I was looking to see if any of my TotallyADD peeps had issues like this.

I went on adderall about what, 3 years ago or so. I’ve just started developing anxiety in the past few months. I’m not really an anxiety person, outside of my PTSD moments, which are fewer as I get treatment. But every day things are starting to cause me horrible anxiety. Like talking to my boss, or husband, or hell, just getting out of bed in the morning.

My problem is that without Adderall, I’m not sure where to go. 5mg of Ritalin had me so drowsy, all I could do was sleep all day.

Guess I get to call the doc. Guess what I’ve been having anxiety about. The damned phone.

This sucks 🙁

Glad to know it’s not just me, though. Sucks that it’s you, too, but hey, at least we’re not alone.

I <3 this place.
