brain-chem twitter-mutuals: I’ve had great luck with dextroamphetamine +amphetamine for ADHD/OCD a while; but recently it’s been causing me to unconsciously hold my breath until I’m slightly hypoxic — which is perhaps an anxiety response. Any ideas/suggestions/musings?
Ohhhhhh, so that's why I've been doing that recently. Huh. Never connected the dots from the ADHD meds. Do you also do the thing afterwards where you feel the need to over-ventilate and end up light headed?

Yep! Note that holding one’s breath like that is fairly common in people with anxiety; so it’s not necessarily the meds. CNS stims can exacerbate anxiety — particularly in excessive dieses; and some stims seem to have way worse track records for it than others.

(Methylphenidate/Ritalin seems to have the worst track record for causing/exacerbating anxiety.)
