I think you need to see a different doctor. There are many drugs, many dosages... many treatment strategies that are of value with ADHD.
As an FYI, I have an anxiety disorder AND I also have ADHD and I USED to get panic attacks and it didn't matter whether I was on the medicine or off of the medicine I still got panic attacks. Sometimes I got them when I woke up in the morning for no obvious reason.
The reason behind or exacerbation of panic attacks and anxiety are not always caused by stimulants.
And this is why I hate doctors. Period. I don't give a damn I hate them all.
