Good evening,

Hi everyone, a quick introduction: my name is Michael and I've dealt with anxiety over the last couple of years. I see a wonderful psychiatrist who I have a wonderful relationship with.

Recently, I've been looking into "alternative" anxiety treatments - such as medications that aren't things like SSRI's or benzos, which I have a lot of experience with. One of the most intriguing things I found was that some people find using stimulants, typically used to treat ADHD, have helped some people with anxiety.
Please be open minded about this, I know it sounds dumb (a stimulant? Helping ANXIETY?) - but everyone's body and condition is different.

What I am looking for is primarily any scholarly sources or journal articles/studies that discuss the use of stimulants to treat anxiety (whether the results were positive or negative). I have access to many medical journals, so if it is a medical journal or I have to pay to read the complete text, that is fine.

I'd also be interested in hearing anyone's personal experiences on the subject - good or bad, the more info, the better. I truly appreciate it and plan on sticking around the forum for awhile.

All the best to you all,

Mike
