Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your question to HCM.

Vyvanse is actually not a good drug in people with anxiety, as it is known to make anxiety worse.

A better medication would be an SSRI antidepressant such as Zoloft or Lexapro. These have been proven to completely treat anxiety over time.

We cannot write prescriptions as we have not examined you. However, this is my recommendation. You are welcome to find a doctor in your area and discuss this recommendation with them.
