> Low dose Amphetamine (10-15mg) or methylphenidate (20-30mg) IMPROVES steadinesss, balance, alertness, hand-eye coordination, and attention. This I believe ,and have experienced will reduce anxiety, indirectly. When the mind is processing fewer thoughts and stimuli, each thought or attention to concentrated matter, becomes clearer and free from distracting material, with the results being less frustration and Anxiety.

Cant say this is true with every stimulant and every person,but i will say this....sedating meds,opposite of a stimulant taken alone never help anxiety for me,instead worsens it,and only seemed helpful in cases when excess stimuli was present,or in small doeses to assist with social avoidance.Think of your major sedatives,alcholol,and weed...how many people exper heightened anxiety with these two drugs,esepcialy weed?FGood observation i actualy thought if this myself a few times.
