IDK, even if it's used off-label, at least the Adderall lets me read & watch TV shows again, and I haven't had an increase in panic attacks, sleep is OK, usually around 6 hr/night (bipolar mixed, pdoc says, in this case, I think he is right), but last night 13 hours.

—-we have so much in common, it’s sort of eerie. Glad you’re here.
I just googled this and a 2017 article in Psych Today said that a study showed that almost always these symptoms are caused by something else, like maybe STRESS, you silly pdocs! Well, if the adderall is working, it’s still a big win even if the doc calling it adhd is wrong. I have gad, so I don’t think I should try it. I’m going to have a complete meds eval done soon. The last couple yrshave been murder for me too. Message me anytime. Hugs!
