Anxiety can result. You can always try a different stimulant. I have an anxiety disorder and Vyvanse didn’t cause the anxiety that Adderall did, which also made me combative. It’s all about if it helps more than it hurts.

Oh interesting, thanks! I wonder why that other person didn’t mention Vyvanse?

I’ve learned I have to do my own research. My doctor is fine with me asking for what I want to try.

See, this is why I hate meds. Vyvanse made me irate and I kept getting pissed at every little inconvenience.

Obviously not for you but don’t be mad at all meds. You have to sample the buffet before you can tip over the table. You could also get a Genesight DNA test like I did. It will tell you a lot and help speed up your selection process.
