"recently diagnosed with adult adhd. prescribed dextroamphetamine 3 x per day at 10 mg. because i suffer extreme anxiety and an active racing mind with various clusters of thoughts going on at any given time i was anxious about taking this medication thinking it would amplify it all.
taking this medicine has helped slow the mind to a point i can pick and choose what i allow myself to think about, i feel so much more in control which is amazing. there is a level of anxiety still but its manageable and not overwhelming like it was before taking dextroamphetamine, i feel like i am the driver of my mind and not the passenger anymore. it has helped to regulate my emotional instability. i am also on 100 mg of pristiq which seems to compliment the overall effect."
