The term "stimulant" is just a name most people associate with caffeine which can cause anxiety.
Adderall makes you feel calmer, happier, more content and lastly (where it goes its name) tends to keep you awake. Stimulants don't just flood your body with adrenaline... in fact a good stimulant will indeed have the effect of making you feel relaxed. Caffeine seems to have given stimulants a bad name as causing anxiety since it causes so much epinephrine and cortisol release.
