Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) ,OCD: I understand your concern. Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) can cause both euphoria and depression. It can also cause Emotional lability-anxiety and agitation to feeling happy. In OCD you like control which is taken away by emotional lability. Medications for OCD with Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) can add side effects., thereby affecting the mood See a Psychiatrist for Diagnosis, Medication benefits and side effects, dose , and Therapy.
