Two Scheduled drugs: You mention panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and depression as preexisting conditions in your chart. Dextroamphetamine will likely worsen these. Adding in a second scheduled drug for panic disorder is NOT safe in the long term. Were you diagnosed with ADD as a child or teen? Definitely have a formal evaluation with a psychiatrist PLUS counseling for your anxiety and depression.
