In reply to dexadrine increasing anxiety?, posted by becksA on July 11, 2004, at 12:09:10
> I am weaning off Xanax XR and moving onto Klonopin for my social anxiety....and for a day or two I've tried not taking my dexadrine for my ADHD...and I think that I'm noticing less anxiety...just random, or would this make total sense? If so....anybody have experiences with better ADHD stims in terms of not heightening the social anxiety so much? Thanks
hello there, chemist here....it sounds quite strange to me, almost as if your dx is questionable: you are getting off of xanax, which is not a pleasant event (i have been there), and introducing klonopin, which is not entirely cross-compatible with xanax, so this alone ought to induce some anxiety/stress/etc. and your dexedrine was prescribed because you have adhd, so dexedrine should have a calming effect on you, yet you report less stress upon decrease of dexedrine. so, if you really have adhd, then reducing the dexedrine should result in lack of focus, inattention, and hyperactivity, yet you report the opposite, in addition to a taper from xanax and titration of klonopin, which alone ought to cause some unpleasantness. please let me know your thoughts about this...you might very well do fine on klonopin alone or with a reduced dose of dexedrine.....all the best, chemist
