> yeah that is indeed the case! but i dunno, the anxiety was so severe i find it hard to believe Dexadrine could have caused that....like you said before it should have the opposite effect anyway. even more, im sure there were a few days in there in between prescriptions when i was off dexadrine when the anxiety was still there, i would have noticed the change im sure....
Hey! I take a stimulant+klonopin combo as well. I'm ADHD, but I also have depression and anxiety and insomnia,soooo the stimulants can increase my anxiety even as they increase my focus and help the depression (I also take a tricyclic AD). You might want to try a beta blocker...propanalol helps me alot; I take it as needed, and it slows down my heart and pulse so I can calm down if I get too stressed. I take my klonopin at the same time as my stimulant to level everything off; that's pretty common for people with ADHD and anxiety. If you anxiety continues to be a problem even with the Klonopin, I'd ask for an AD.
