How to deal with adderall social anxiety? (Started 2-3 months ago on it)

I've been prescribed 40 mg adderall(20mg morning, 20mg afternoon) for over 2-3 months now for ADHD, after switching from vyvanse 30 mg(which i took for about 4 years).
I did it for insurance reasons, also adderall is so much more affordable, and works better.
I lowered my dose of adderall(without confronting my doc) to 20mg morning, 10 afternoon.
But i can't focus on that amount, because it's not a high enough dose to counter-act my ADHD.
I've Also been noticing the adderall has way more side effects regardless of dose.
It works better than vyvanse, but it's been giving me alot of social anxiety and some depression every now and then.
Psychedelics have helped cope with alot of the social anxiety both on and after the medication. (I only microdose if i combine them)
Psychedelics also help with getting rid of my depressive thoughts plural, as a result from adderall. (I only trip on weekends about once every month if needed(when my anxiety or depression is too extreme))
Should I talk to my doctor about getting SSRIs or just keep taking the same 40mg dose of adderall(and get accustomed to it)?
Should I switch to Dexedrine? (NOTE: It's 100% d-amp which is the same active ingredient in vyvanse minus the lysine molecule. Unlike adderall 25% l-amp & 75% d-amp.)
Or back to vyvanse? (despite the cost)

I would say take what works for you, even if it's the option that costs more. You could try dex, guess that's up to you, I have no experience with dexedrine though so can't be of much help.
I have been prescribed ritalin, adderall, and vyvanse, and I found adderall to be the best of those, with ritalin being the worst.

Ritalin made me feel like shit.
Adderall made me feel high.
And vyvanse helped me focus and want to try harder.

I think i understand why the 30mg adderall made me so anxious(and more of the other side effects too)... it has to do with the amphetamine base.
Adderall™'s total molar mass and amphetamine base masses are completely different from lisdexamfetamine dimesylate(Vyvanse™'s) total molar mass and base amphetamine mass.
So for every mg of adderall, 47.49% is Dextroamphetamine and 15.08% Levo... that gives you 14.2 mg Dextroamphetamine and 4.5 mg Levoamphetamine for every 30 Mg of Adderall™. For every miligram of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate(Vyvanse™) 29.68% is Dextroamphetamine... that gives you 8.9 mg Dextroamphetamine.
So when I switched to adderall, I am apparently taking 1.59 times my daily dose of dextroamphetamine, and 4.5mg Levoamphetamine extra.
Hence the bad side effects...
This also applies to Dexedrine™ as well, because for every miligram of Dexedrine™ you get, only 73.38% of that is the "Active drug".
My source---> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphetamine (Tab: History, society, and culture)
The amphetamine base mass is the dextroamphetamine (and/or levoamphetamine) in free base form, without the sulfate, aspartate monohydrate, saccharate, dimesylate or lysine molecule add ons. Or base as in PH?? idk
So 30 mg dexedrine is equal to 35.2 mg adderall which is equal to 74.2 mg vyvanse, when it comes to amphetamines being equally dispersed.

MAPS has invested almost 30 years and earmarked nearly $20 million to work toward its goal of making MDMA an FDA-approved prescription drug by 2021. If it reaches that goal, doctors and scientists will have to jump through much fewer hoops to get their hands on MDMA for trials, or to help patients who they think could benefit from trip-assisted therapy. DEA regulations and High security protocols are the main reason the drug is so costly, true they could get it for like 1/20th of the price, but there's just too much regulations, driving the value of the drug way up.
