So, I looked everywhere and couldn't find the answer to what I was looking for. Anyways.
My psychiatrist prescribed me focalin and ritalin (Xr and Ir for homework) and I absolutely hate it. It works for literally 45 minutes (even the XR) and then I'm left with AWFUL anxiety. Seriously the worst I have ever had to the point where I want to rip my hair out. The thing is that, I have taken both adderall and vyvanse in the past and they worked great for school (didn't abuse them, but did get them from friends) and they left me with little to no anxiety. Now, my problem is that I actually want these prescribed because I HATE what I have now with a burning passion. I don't know what to tell my psychiatrist. I have had issues in the past with drug abuse, but that was with benzos and alcohol. I don't care for abusing stimulants, and my psychiatrist knows this. She gave me the ritalin and focalin with knowing this, but I'm still afraid to suggest what medication I would prefer. She did tell me that if i told like ritalin that we could try something else. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that, what should I tell her?? And what medication will she be likely to prescribe me next? I dont want her to think I'm abusing these drugs because I am not. I just realllly want what I know will help me and not leave me with my heart and mind racing out of my body. thanks
