In reply to Ritalin anxiety -- does it go away with time?, posted by cybercafe on September 24, 2004, at 19:22:33
> Wow ritalin makes me really anxious... i am taking 20 mg SR right now... perhaps once daily... i am wondering if the anxiety gets an easier, and i guess how long it might take and by how much.. i already will take up to 4 mg of clonazepam without ritalin so i don't want to have to go any higher
It usually does. It did for me, definitely. My doc started me on 40, then upped, then switched to adderall..it was crazy. Anyway, my beta blocker, propanolol, helped a lot. You might want to ask for a sleeping pill from your doc, too...that helps, and they're usually willing to short-term Rx you. If all else fails, ask for short-term anxiety treatment boosters. Most of my friends take benzos with their stims, so I imagine your doc will be open to it.
