I am on Adderall XR 10mg once a day and I actually found it helped my anxiety. Generally I don't think ADD meds are good for anxiety but in my situation my anxiety was actually being caused by my inability to focus and get my work done, causing anxiety of not succeeding. My anxiety was worse when I was doing nothing, like watching tv or driving, where as if I was really busy at work, I wouldn't feel anxious at all
because I was too focused on something else to get anxious. Now, the adderall has helped me focus all around and I rarely need to pop a xanax to get rid of that anxious feeling.. Just a thought but I think it all depends on what the root cause of the anxiety is in the first place.
