Find cause: You're taking methylphenidate, which is a stimulant that can worsen anxiety. Discuss with prescribing doctor to consider lowering dose or other guidance. Also see your pcp to rule out any underlying medical condition that may be contributing to or causing anxiety. List any alcohol/drug/tobacco/caffeine use and current stresses. I hope this helps. Take care.
