I have had this nagging tightness, full feeling in my neck, throat area that will not go away. It's not a sore throat, it feels as though the blood vessels in there are swollen or something. It's gotten a lot worse since I started Adderal XR for my ADD. Am also on 1.5mg XR Xanax and 45mg Remeron. What I'm experiencing is definitely physical in nature. Anyone else had anything similiar? I have a Dr. appointment but it's not until next week to help figure this out. It was more of an on/off again thing but has gotten to the point that it doesn't go away until I'm laying down to sleep. Starts up again as soon as I'm up. I really hope it's not angina. :(

Hmm, allergic reaction maybe? Make a phone call to your doctor before you take your next dose. Make a phone call immediately would be a better idea. Don't mess with that.

Me too?....any medical answer(s) from your dr.'s?

I went to dr., had chest x ray, then to ent. Was told my "voicebox" was red and irritated. Also, had upper gi and....nothing. My neck is very sore.

I am experiencing the same thing - it's a common symptom of anxiety. I'm on Ritalin, but have been for about a year and this feeling just started. I just started a new job and a new schedule and I've been stressed out, so I'm attributing it to that. I'd also felt it a few years ago, and went on anti-anxiety medication. It went away.

Right now I'm trying to take a natural approach to it with relaxation and meditation, but it's been a slow process.
