It's weird, it's not a fear kind of anxiety I get from stimulants. It's that tired but wired feeling. I have physical energy but my mind is not the least bit interested in doing anything with it. A sort of world weary jitteryness.I know you've been posting here quite a while, Emme. I'm glad you seem to be doing well and that you have apparently found a med combo that's right for you.
