"i have mdd, gad, and adhd. the worse trifecta in my opinion. the reason why is because when i start treating one disorder the others get worse. well i had gotten my mdd and gad in check and on to treat my adhd so i was given a very low dose of adderall xr (10mg). it was way too over stimulating for me. i had so much anxiety that i couldn&#039;t even focus which is what adderall is supposed to help you do. so i switched over to 5mg adderall xr and while my anxiety didn&#039;t shoot up like the last dosage it still was ineffective."
