> One of the main concerns proposed is the abuse potential of this medication.
Do you get high off it? If you don't, I doubt you'll become addicted to it.
>Im hoping that this medication could get rid of the weird, anxious nervous feeling (I've had it before Adderall) that I sometimes get during the day when I think too existentially. anxiety relief.
What sort of existential worries do you have? Are they recurrent in nature?
> What do you think about Xanax XR?
I don't like benzos overall, but they get the job done.
> Im not sure about your Vyvanse suggestion because 70mg = 30mg. IR which is half of what Im
prescribed now.I thought 70 mg Vyvanse = 60 mg Adderall IR
>neurologic feel is superior to eliminate symptoms.
Maybe I'll have to revisit Adderall

BUT, Latuda gets the job done and helps with anxiety at higher doses (120-160 mg).> In studies, higher doses Latuda were not significantly more effective than the lower doses. How do you know it helps with anxiety at such significant levels before I titrate up tho?
Two psychiatrist friends I know read studies and relayed the results to me - one was in a journal.
> Alert, ADHD, Awake, Active
I don't think their are any studies that show Nuvigil helps ADHD.
> I wish you could find it? Can you find it now? So, I really need to DOUBLE the suggested dosage?
Csn't find it, but did found some conflicting evidence: "In the clinical trials, doses up to 400 mg/day as monotherapy were evaluated; however, no additional benefit was seen at 400 mg/day compared with 200 mg/day" - rxlist.com
> I agree, but I was just being realistic since my PDOC probably wont double it immediately.doesn't hurt to try.
>Am I dumb to you?
Hardly
>Youve suggest Zonegran in another thread which is probably worse than topiramate in terms of executive function.
They're about the same.
> Anyways, it boils down to your thoughts about anything Xanax XR and my meds.

> Thoughts? Opinions? Advice?Xanax does nothing for OCD
