Hi all, I have undiagnosed possible ADHD, but in any case I certainly benefit from the stimulants talked about here in keeping my life in order. I've tried a fair few of the research chemical stimulants (eg 3FPM, 4MPH) and non-controlled pharmaceuticals (eg modafinil, wellbutrin) with varying levels of success. However one issue I consistently have is that the effect of the stimulant starts relatively quickly, say within 30 minutes with oral dosing, there is a creeping anxiety that then sneaks up a few hours later. The stimulant is still working well at this point, so I don't think it's a comedown issue, and the effect occurs well within the normal expected duration of the substance in question.
Is there a known general mechanism for anxiety with stimulants? Something that I could counteract, maybe even just with the right vitamin or supplement? Obviously there are other substances that specifically target anxiety, but (i) they're generally habit forming or at least have tolerance build-up, and (ii) they would cause sleepiness, presumably negating the original advantage of the stimulant I took.
Incidentally, 3FPM was probably the best for me in providing useful stimulation without unwanted side effects, but I hear horror stories from other people. It also seems hard to get in the UK now, on the clearnet at least.
