> I've never tried a stimulant and was thinking about trying Adderall XR just to see how it effects me. I've tried numerous SSRI's and they just make me not care and my work ethic goes down the tubes. Mood stabilzers make my forgetfull and depressed.

I haven't tried any other stimulants other than caffeine, and ephedrine. Ephedrine causes a lot of peripheral stimulation and anxiety, lots of energy. I wouldn't recommend it though.
If you're worrying about anxiety your best choice would be dextroamphetamine, then Adderall, followed by Ritalin, in that order. You can only tell by trying. Your work ethic will go up most likely if anything. If felt a lot more motivated when I was on it.
