I’m trialing ADHD medication at the moment.. sometimes it’s helps me to focus but sometimes (like right now) I think I’m feeling very nervous and anxious but at the same time overly excited for no particular reasons… I actually can’t quite tell if I’m worried or excited, my hands are shaking and sweating a lot. Is this normal?

Hi @Joyeeee
Welcome to the forums. I'm one of the moderators here on the forums. I just jumped in and gave your post an edit to take out the name of the medicaiton. As part of guidelines we don't allow the names of meds on the forums...just will put this here for you. https://saneforums.org/t5/help/faqpage#community-guidelines
As for your concerns, we can't give medical advice but I am thinking that they will affect each person differrently. It's probably best to check with your health care provider. But keep reaching out as you are very very welcome here!
Warmest wishes
Hanami
