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?

Adderall is, uh, not a sedative.

Hahaha right? It’s the opposite of a sedative.

Had same feelings as sedative after trying it

Then you have ADHD. (Probably.) Stimulants tend to make ppl with ADHD feel like they're slowing down, because it allows them to pay attention to just one thing instead of everything all at once (depending in the exact flavor of ADHD, anyways).
