Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Stress

I started taking adderall 30mg XR at the beginning of last month and my menstrual cycle seems to have been thrown off. Is this possible or could it be something different? I am having my period but it just seems different. I don t know if its because I ve been feeling a lot of anxiety and stress lately along with not eating much because of the adderall. I also have been drinking a lot more caffeine then I had been.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Adderall is a stimulant and in few patients, it increase anxiety symptoms. Better to consult your physician or psychiatrist about it. If possible either decrease its dose or stop it. That would give to better result. You can try some antidepressant like paroxetine or escitalopram. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
