So i have just recently been diagnosed with ADD. and I am currently taking 10 mg Adderal XR every morning. I take 20 on days i have class. I have always been somewhat shy, but over the past few years have developed Social Anxiety which can be moderate to severe depending on the situation.

I hear that adderal is also used sometimes in treating Social Anxiety, and wondered if anyone had any significant results themselves?

this has probably been addressed before. but i would appreciate if someone would like to enlighten me?

well i was diagnosed as having ADD, and also would be pretty shy and anxious in large crowds of people i don't know. I noticed on ritalin IR that this problem subsided quite a bit, and i activly seeked out social situations... i haven't tried adderall, but let us know if it helps you at all!

I found that both Adderall and Ritalin help with social anxiety. One thing I've always hated is walking into a large gathering where I know no one. Both Adderall and Ritalin (not together -- I've tried both at different times) have made it feel effortless.

I do have to say, however, that after three months on Adderall (I only lasted a short time on Ritalin), the overall effects of the drug, including the lessening of social anxiety, seem to be diminishing. It's not that it's not effective at all - it's just that it's less effective. I've increased my dose of Adderall from 5 mg XR to 10 mg XR to 15 mg XR. I think I either need to go up to 20 mg XR or try to combine Adderall with another drug to boost it.

Let me know what conclusion you come to MTMT.Im going through the same thing.
