Hello!
I am currently diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. My psychiatrist prescribed 5 mg of instant release methylphenidate. In your experience how has methylphenidate affected your anxiety levels? ** She didn't prescribe it for the anxiety disorders, but instead she prescribed it for inattention to details.

I am not sure. I just wanted to post saying I have read it and I wish you good luck on it
 . This is Ritalin/Concerta. Please tell us (or me) how it goes. I would like to go on something for AD/HD - inattentive type in the future if diagnosed with it.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ritalin did, horribly. I was on Vyvanse till the price went up and switched to Concerta and it didn't (it actually makes me tired and drops my motivation to zero). Going to talk to my Psych next week about it.

Ritalin sent my anxiety skyrocketing. The crash was hellacious.
One dose. Never again. |
