I started taking methylphenidate recently, but went through a stressful patch and suspect it contributed to a period of bad anxiety. That's mostly better now, and the doc prescribed me vyvanse (Elvanse here in UK) instead.

Pretty terrified it will trigger anxiety again so I've not touched it. Considering just taking the odd methylphenidate here and there as it doesn't last all day.

Anyone willing to share relevant experiences? Not looking to be told what to do, I will make my own decisions... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Metylphenidate does cause a lot of anxiety... but is manageable i find.
