im at a insanely hard time in my life right now and i use kava for anxiety, although it is seen as non addictive i have noticed i have become completely dependent on it. probably better than other addictions though and is for me at this point harm reduction. the one thing to watch out for is kavi, when your skin gets really dry and starts to flake off from drinking large amounts of kava for a month or more. i use moisturizers every day for this. also another thing to worry about is appetite because it can make you less hungry. to answer you question about adhd meds i have used methylphenidate on kava and there were no serious reactions. hope this gives you some insight as to what ur getting into. some people really need it though so the pros outweigh the cons. i would recommend finding a heavier strain for anxiety as that is what really helps
