Day 3 on Adderall 20mgs and Klonopin 4mg:
I feel the best I've ever felt since I started having my anxiety and depression 8 years ago. It is a remarkable change. It's still too early to tell long term, but I'm both excited and very hopeful that I've found the combonation that works for me.

As for the adderall, it's cutting through the sedation of the Klonopin and giving me good energy and a healthy dose of self-confidence for a change. I feel more social, less anxious, more enthusiastic about life in general, and I have hope that things may actually get better for a change. The adderall at 20mg XR has REDUCED my anxiety. This reinforces the idea that there is indeed an underactive dopamine component to social anxiety/generalized anxiety.

I was also offered a choice between concerta and adderall, but my pdoc told me that even concerta is more anxiety-provoking than adderall or dexedrine. I just thought I'd pass that along, but you seem to be leaning towards adderall anyway, which seems like a good idea.

I hope this helps, and good luck with your pdoc,
Justin
