"my general physician first prescribed me concerta (intermediate dosage) and it seemed to make me feel depressed, anxious, and more obsessive (thought-wise anyway). i was then prescribed adderall xr (10 mg) and found that i would feel more productive and relaxed earlier in the day upon taking it, but then the side effects really began to hit hard. i was hesitant to continue to try another stimulant because i was actually diagnosed with anxiety (by my psychiatrist) and mild depression and the stimulants seemed to heighten these symptoms. he then suggested that i try vyvanse and he also put me on atterax (for anxiety/allergies ---weird combination, i know) in addition to prozac. vyvanse has been a life-saver, mild side effects, and no &quot;crash&quot;."
