Anxiety Flare When Adderall Wears Off

I just started taking 5mg of Adderall for ADHD. Does anyone else get an anxiety flare when it wears off? I’m so peaceful when I’m on it but my heart races when it stops.

Is it the immediate release one or is it XR. Do you take it more than one time a day. I had the immediate release one at first. I took it 2 times a day as needed. I had these symptoms when it started wearing off and then I would take my second dose if I needed it for that day. My doctor had discussed with me that the immediate release one dose have that effect when it wears off. The increasing anxiety and I would start kinda shaking or shivering like when I have increasing anxiety but it would go away after some time of my body adjusting. I changed to XR version because it doesn't have those effects and plus it's easier based on my daily schedule to take the one in the morning when I wake up and just go about my day. I don't need an immediate release based on my current schedule.
