Thank you! I have never tried Adderall, maybe it's not widespread here (I'm in Europe). I have tried Vyvanse and it also made my anxiety worse unfortunately. The thing is that I already have quite some anxiety without the ADHD meds, but with them it gets much worse (even though I can focus better). I will take a look at Desoxyn.



I don't think you'd be able to find Desoxyn outside of the US (and ever here it's incredibly rare to get it prescribed & then also successfully fill it at a pharmacy). Most of the EU has negative attitudes towards ADHD meds, especially immediate release ones. AFAIK, the only amphetamine many countries have is Vyvanse, because it's XR and "abuse resistant". I was actually doing some research about whether I will be able to keep getting Desoxyn if I move back outside of the US (anywhere, really) and the answer seems to be a NO. I think NZ/AU might have a special scheme for giving a person an exception when other treatments have failed, but that's about it.
