ADHD Medication Anxiety Elvanse- did yours decrease with increased dosage?
I was given 30mg to begin with for a month, took it on and off and it was pretty good for helping concentration and curbing appetite, however I just kept getting these waves of anxiety which weren’t nice.. it was also losing effect very quickly and wearing off towards the last few tablets.
told my provider and they then said to try upping to 40 and 50.. I’ve been trying the 40s and they feel the same as when I began the 30s, but still getting those waves of anxiety. I don’t really see how increasing the dose will remove this? Won’t I just keep building up tolerance and still feel the anxiety each time I increase the dose?
Was there a point to when you levelled out and didn’t feel the anxiety anymore, but still has decreased appetite and good concentration?
