That work for me. Quite a similar experience to me. After a change of meds I had a bought of intense disphoria and anxiety which I (perhaps falsely) attributed to the meds after 9 years of use and misuse (insufflation etc). I stopped cold turkey until my special authorization expired and haven't used them since. It is a relief in some ways that my overall as methylphenidate is quite hard on the heart and addictive, so it got me through the quitting phase. I've found other ways to get by with my ADHD; diet, sleep, caffeine, environment etc. Its possible the meds had already helped to establish the patterns of concentration too. Could you elaborate on the bad reaction that you experienced? Which treatment, brand, and daily amount? I can throw in my two cents as well.I've been on several different stimulant medications for ADHD. They all make me anxious, even the one I'm taking now.Adderall: Grinding teeth, anxiety, didn't like feeling euphoric ("good" for no reason), stomach painVyvance: Same as aboveFocalin: Better than both above. This is what I'm currently on. It works for me well but it still comes with some side effects. I have stomach pain pretty consistently after taking my dose, and I have anxiety throughout the day.It's unfortunate. I absolutely need these meds to keep my life in order, but they honestly suck pretty bad. Did you consider non-stimulant medication?In particular: atomoxetine (Strattera), bupropion (Wellbutrin), guanfacine (Tenex), and — if everything else fails — tricyclics
