In reply to How does Adderall help GAD?Adder/Klonop work??, posted by Jasmine Neroli on October 26, 2003, at 19:14:59
Amphetamines are good antidepressants -- it's just hard to get them prescribed for that. I take Adderall for ADD, and Klonopin for anxiety. The Adderall increases my enthusiasm as well as concentration, and I don't find that it induces anxiety at all (although some other stimulants like Wellbutrin, caffeine etc. do). The combination works very well.
I can see how Adderall could work for GAD for some people, by improving confidence and motivation. But without an ADD diagnosis, I suspect that very few doctors would be willing to prescribe it.
