I take Ritalin/concerta ONLY on days that I absolutely need it for work or school, and personally I've found if I take my 8hr extended release between 10 and 11 am, I don't get anxious, I can sleep, and I don't have an energy crash at night. I also have anxiety and I just talked to my Dr about my concerns with that, and I had to do some experimenting with what time to take it, and how much. I think extended release is better for anxiety bc you're not getting it all at once. I can't drink caffeine tho with my ADHD meds or I get jittery
Mine wouldn’t prescribe a stimulant because I had a coke addiction :( so I just stay struggle
you may have an issue if you also take an anti anxiety / benzo. they will give you the reasoning of a stimulant and a benzo are opposite drug treatments and may not prescribe them together. if youre not on anything for anxiety it probably wont be an issuw
I have ADHD, PTSD, anxiety and also a autonomic nervous system disorder that makes my heart rate higher. The only issue I’ve ever had getting my stimulant prescribed was because it can make your heart rate higher, so I had to get my cardiologist to “ok” the medication. Other than that I’ve never had issues with getting prescribed stimulants.
