Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
What you are describing is likely increased anxiety as a result of the Adderall. Adderall is a stimulant and can increase anxiety-causing hormones in the body. Even though you have been taking it for 2 months, these symptoms are still likely related to a buildup of this medication in the system. I would talk with your doctor about lowering the dose, and this is likely to help.
