Q: ADD and anxiety treatment ?
asked by: d826 on July 24th, 2008

I had my first visit with a psychiatrist last week and she diagnosed me as having moderate ADD (inattentive) and moderate anxiety. I have had stomach problems for years due to anxiety (nervousness, restlessness, etc.) I'm not sure if they are related, but my guess is yes. My doctor wanted to let me think about treatment options until I see her again next week. My ADD is effecting my job performance and relationship with my fiancee (forgetfulness, lack of focus, missing parts of discussions). I would like to take medication for both my anxiety and ADD. Do you have any suggestions of what I could take together. I know it will require a lot of trial and error, but I would really appreciate your experience and knowledge!!

Thanks

When I was taking medication for my ADHD I was on Ritilan, and it reminded me of speed, I got a jittery feeling sometimes when I took them.

I am not on any medication for my ADHD, I figured why bother since I don't have a job right now. I figured it was a waste of money until things change and I go back to looking for work.

For anxiety I took Clonzepam (sp?) I might have the spelling wrong on that, but that is how it sounds when it is pronounced. I know a lot of people like to take this drug. So you might check into that.
