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?

You make it sound like a long or hard process to get addicted to nicotine... just pick up a vape at the gas station and within a week of use you will be all set with your lovely new addiction.

No clue if this is common among adhd, but i find chemical addiction absurdly easy to stop. To the point that i would say ive never had a chemical "addiction" despite imbibing a lot of chemicals.

Habitual addiction, though, suck. I can vape 0 nic perpetually just as well as 21 nic. The important bit is the smoke, not the chemicals in it. Its a habit, not an addiction.
