I have tried a few stimulants and they all have helped with my slight depression and anxiety. But I have had some side effects from all of them.
Vyvanse was great for focus, motivation. But it gives me terrible asthma problems. Makes me wheeze. Scary - afraid to exercise. Plus is gives me a terrible headache. Tried cutting lowest dose (20mg into 1/4s - still asthma & headaches).
Adderall made me want to kill someone. Very angry - not good.
Focalin was ok, but I still got headaches and some jaw clenching. Maybe dose too high? Don't know.
It is a must for me to take a mood stabilizer with a stimulant or else I am not fit to be around.
Not sure what I will do. I might try an extended release of Focalin to see if that works better.
Any thoughts?
