ADD and Anxiety
by d826, Jul 22, 2008 06:34PM
Hi,
I just went to the doctors and was diagnosed as having ADD with moderate anxiety. I was on Lexapro for 2 years for anxiety (no ADD yet diagnosed) and I felt better, but gained 30 pounds. Now I need to decide what I am comfortable to start taking to deal with the ADD, as it is causing problems at work (no focus, scattered, etc.) Does anyone have any suggestions as to what meds that they were successful with (I know all meds effect people differently, but so I have an idea of whats out there). At my next appt I need to go back to my doctor and discuss what I would like to try.
Thanks for all suggestions!

You dont say how old you are , have you tried the way of going with out these very powerful drugs,as you arent taking them yet,go to your search engine and see what it comes up with, put in side effects of ADD drugs,a lot of people now are getting help from Therapy and natural mehtods before you take anything think it through. Trust me. it'll be a good thing and it wont hurt the Option af takind Drugs is always there isnt it.
