Anyone tried Elvanse? Anxiety/anger etc...

I am to be frank in a fucking awful state. I’ve been on it ten days now. I’ve been waiting so long to try this, after I had to stop methylphenidate because it made my anxiety build up, which eventually outweighed the huge difference in focus it gave me.

I’d heard this was different, that elvanse was good for anxiety, even though it is also a stimulant. I’ve heard so many good things about it. But I am full of panic, can’t sleep much, and incredibly quick to anger. That took months to build up on the methylphenidate.

I’m freaking out - I’m so scared it won’t work, and not sure what other options I have. Guess I’d just like to hear from anyone who has been on it, especially if they had a rough time adjusting to it.

Hi, OP, I'm aware this is a post of 4 years old. But just wondering if you moved on to other medication and found anything suitable for you.

I have the same problem witt Elvanse, but haven't tried methylphenidate yet. Fearing it will have the same issue like Elvanse, I'm trying to understand what the alternatives are...
