I recently gave in and asked my doctor about the anxiety that Adderall was giving me, he then suggested I tried Focalin instead and also gave me Prozac. He said I should see less of the anxiety with Focalin and the Prozac would also help. I'm starting today!

I have been struggling with anxiety and found 500mg of magnesium at night works. I also take 200mg L theanine during the day. Epson salt baths are wonderful for stress, I do that once or twice a week.
