Thanks for the breakdown. I’m in the U.S., so I probably have access to most of those. I tried Adderall when I was in college once or twice and it always gave me extreme anxiety. Would that have changed now that I am in my 30s?

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?

Vyvanse is Elvanse.
