I am off Adderall XR and switched to 20MG of Focalin, 300MG of Neurontin and Xanax as needed. I actually slept a full 6 hours for the past two nights. I was getting 1-3 hours of sleep each night for the last few weeks and would be crawling around the bed and pacing the house craving carbs (mostly fat free saltine crackers) at 4am. I actually lost 5 LBS in a month and I am trying to put on weight.

I actually feel better on this combination than the Adderall XR & Prozac. Looking back, I see that the Adderall XR made me jittery and , very irritable & angry at the littlest thing but worse is that I felt very restless once the effect wore off usually about 6 hours after taking it.

You've mentioned you felt "jittery" and "hypomanic" on Adderall. Do you have bipolar? If so, then yeah, stimulants can certainly trigger anxiety and mania (in my experience).

Likely Bipolar but never officially diagnosed with it. The problems I described with Adderall XR were probably due to withdrawl but looking back some of the things I have done recently have been scary -- bouncing checks, charging thousands on credit cards & losing track, having extreme feelings of rage & irritablility, getting by on 1-3 hours of sleep for days & weeks on end. By the late afternoon at work, I was pretty much non functional -- just looking at the internet, chewing at my fingers, thinking of a thousand different things except completing a task at hand.

I only feel aware of those behaviors now since I am off the Adderall and on a mood stabilizer drug -- Neurontin as well as a smaller dose of Focalin XR. I feel much better without those anxiety attacks & hypomanic behaviors.
