> > I still don't understand if this class of meds are supposed to gradually upregulate or downregulate the amount of norepinepherin in the brain. If they upregulate it, then it makes sense they help with depression, but no sense at all why they also are supposed to help with anxiety, since norepinepherin is an anxiety hormone.

NE-type stuff increases certain aspects of anxiety for me (maybe a bit more vigilant), but stimulants (coffee, Dexedrine etc.) can also help a lot with stress and confidence and make me feel more "in control" when it comes to challenging my anxious thoughts.Dexedrine, but not necessarily Ritalin, can reduce anxiety in some people.
