The amphetamines are among the most safest drugs that exist. Combine them with certain drugs, they may pose a problem. Abuse them at doses like 300mg, yeah, you might have a problem. But therapeutically, they're really really safe-- that's why doctors prescribe them so often.
If someone gets anxious on them, you can take something like Klonopin or an SSRI. This bunk about a need to substitute things like Provigil or Straterra because they're more "advanced" is silly. If there's greatest benefit and fewer side effects, more power to you. But amphetamine is a naturally produced drug in your brain. That's why your brain doesn't react like crazy when you take them, in the way SSRIs or other drugs do.
