Hi ManicPanic

I take 10 mg of adderall when I wake up, and another 10 mg around noon.  The amphetamine, in addition to venlafaxine (Effexor) and modafinil (Provigil) which I also take is for severe depression.

I do not take any anxiolytic medications, but I do take pregabalin (Lyrica) for pain which may have some anxiolytic effect.

Given this background, I have had no anxiety for the past 2.5 - 3 months which is very unusual for me, and most welcome.

I don't know what other medications you take, but if you are worried about anxiety, I would recommend staying away from amphetamines.  If you are really curious and want to experiment, take 5 mg (could be 1 quarter of a tablet depending on the size) in the morning when you wake up and try not to drink any coffee just to see what happens.

Take care.

I have never took it. My sister in law takes it for bi-polar and depression and she said it makes you comprhend and think straight and more awake. Yes i was planning on taking a half (10mg) for this occasion...what do you think?
