I have ADHD, and take adderall XR for it. However, for the past almost month, I have been without it because my pharmacy has a shortage of it. At first, I didn’t experience immediate problems except for increased appetite and maybe a few other minor issues but for the past week, i have developed anxiety and worry about things more strongly than I typically do. Is this normal? And based on your experience, does adderall “decrease” anxiety?

I imagine this post goes against rule 5: an actual topic of discussion, and definitely against rule 1, as this is a yes/no question. This problem could easily be figured out by looking it up. I found this by just a quick Kagi search. So yes, anxiety is a common side-effect of Adderall withdrawal.

While yes it is a yes or no question, sometimes questions benefit from the discussion behind the yes or no.

If you don’t like social media don’t be here. The guy just wants some anecdotal advice. It’s not hard to ignore and move on if you don’t want to contribute.

As I clarified in another comment, I might've been a bit grumpier than I intended in my original reply due to some stuff that happened today. And the personal experience may be more valuable to others than it is to be so I didn't think about that really. Maybe partially because of those same frustrations I skipped that thought, or not, I don't know. Either way I didn't mean to come over as rude, my bad.

However, I do like forums like these for discussions about certain topics, and my initial thought was that this is a question for a medical professional and wouldn't lead to any fun discussion, which is why I replied in the way that I did, if maybe with the wrong tone to the comment. So "not being here" isn't the solution, in my opinion.

It’s just a question, if you care so much about “rules” then simply ignore and don’t respond to the it. I already looked it up but I just wanted to know the perspective of people who can actually relate to my situation. But thanks for the link

Closed questions tend to not be very interesting discussion posts. Which is what I subbed to this community for. That's the only reason I said anything about the rules.

And honestly I don't know what else to say, or what other comments you could expect here – it's a yes/no answer, in this case yes. Not much else to say imo...

Maybe perhaps: “yes”, followed by someone’s own personal experience. Kinda like the user whose comment you got removed for no reason. Just because YOU don’t see it beyond “yes or no” doesn’t mean other people don’t.

The other person's comment got removed by a moderator because they called me a loser.

Just because YOU don’t see it beyond “yes or no” doesn’t mean other people don’t.

Fair enough. I'm fairly tired from work (and it's almost bedtime for me), and still somewhat annoyed from some assholes on the tram that kept pressing the disabled button to keep the tram from moving to the next stop, so I might've been a bit more direct/rude than I meant to be in my initial reply.

It’s all good

Glad you got it in time. We need a proper medical ADHD community where we can discuss this stuff without power tripping bastards on the ADHD community.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Please read my other comments before resorting to calling me a bastard, after your comment got removed for calling me a loser.
