Stimulants, either : methylphenidate or amphetamine, can increase anxiety in a person with ADHD + comorbid anxiety disorder(s). Each stimulant preparation has a daily onset, peak, & duration of action. Some people have less anxiety on Vyvanse, (lisdexamfetamine) even though Adderall is its active ingredient. Some do well on a stimulant + a non-stimulant like Intuniv as an adjunct. See CHADD.org & discuss options with your doctor.

STIMULANT: So Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is a stimulant and maybe one can get some anxiety from the medication. Klonopin ought to help this Not sure what the urination has to do with this issue though.

Need alternative: All stimulants, Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin and Concerta can cause an increase in anxiety. talk to your doctor about Wellbutrin, (bupropion) which has anti anxiety effect and can treat the symptoms of ADD with a single medication.
