If I'm occassionally prone to anxiety attacks is it OK to take Adderall for ADD?

I’ve only had my current doctor for a few years. Occasionally I’ve been known to have an anxiety attack, but it has never been enough of an issue to discuss it with my doctor. She recently prescribed Adderall for adult ADD and I’m concerned because I just learned its an amphetamine.

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 15:42:02 +0000

I experienced a frightening anxiety attack – I think only those who have experienced one will know what I am talking about. I truly thought I was going to die, that I was losing consciensness and was too weak to even call 911. I just laid on the bathroom floor. It was so scary and I am scared if it happens again. What triggers it and what does it mean? Does it mean I have a mental problem and need to be on meds?

Panic attack symptoms after smoking pot?

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 11:22:12 +0000

Alright, So I used to smoke pot almost everyday for about the past 2 years.
About a month ago I accidentally took my medication (Seroquel, mellitonin, celexa) before smoking.
My legs gave out, I blacked out twice and I had to make myself throw up my medication. I then went to sleep and felt weird for the next two days.
A week later I had a Horrible anxiety attack and had to go to the hospital, they perscribed me lorazepam for when I have an anxiety attack.
Its been about three weeks- a month and two days ago I smoked pot with my friends out of my bong,
at first I was just high, I took a few more hits and i was stoned, the usual. after about 20 minutes I got up and Had a horrible headrush, everything faded and went back quickly, i felt dizzy and lost my coordination a little bit, but i could still stand.it wasent a normal headrush, it lasted a few seconds too long and felt a bit strange. I walked up stairs from my room and I went into the kitchen to talk to my mom, My heart was racing and my chest hurt I got a bit scared and almost had an anxiety attack, but I calmed myself.
after another 20 minutes I felt fine, then it came back again and went away. Once My high had worn off
I felt groggy and dizzy, uncoordinated and strange, My stomach felt sick and I had to constantly switch my position to feel better. It felt nothing like how I usually feel after I smoke.
Yesterday I was in bed all day, When I would stand up I would get a headrush and loose my coordination again. Its two days after and I feel a lot better, still a bit out of it but I can function fine.
idfk what happened to me, I have a lot of problems and was pretty much self medicating myself for the past two years, along with my medication.
Im starting to think maybe I just have to many problems to be smoking pot?
Or so much trauma on my body in the past month has just been too much, and I should wait longer to smoke again.
idk, help?
