Is anxiety a symptom of adderall withdrawal? (discuss.online)

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?

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.
