I know your pain I have my good days and my bad days a lot of my anxiety attacks I thought were heart attacks in the beginning because of the physical symptoms I was always having (heart pounding, dizzy, impending doom feeling, breathing difficulty) but after years of having them and talking to doctors and therapists I realize now when I have them they are just anxiety attacks but they can be very scary for sure if you don't know what it is in the beginning. I hate taking RX meds too so it's a double edge sword, I feel like I trade one problem for another when I take the pills the doctors give me and all the side effects that come with them. To be honest I have been using medical marijuana for the last few years and I feel it really helps me and doesn't have near as many bad side effects. I know it might sound crazy but look into it and try a sativa strain it really helps with mood, anxiety and depression. But use a low does if you never tried it before

ADHD meds might make your anxiety worse, which will make your depression much worse. I agree with one-love, see if you’re able to get medical marijuana. Unfortunately, I cannot otherwise I would. I’m currently on a mixture of Cymbalta, Concerta, and a chaser of Xanax (as needed). I hate taking xanax because it ruins my days...I have to take a nap once it kicks in.

Your best bet is to talk to your health professional about how the medication is working with your body. Good luck!

cRay112, I am so sorry to hear what you are dealing with. I have two boys who are both ADHD. Can I ask you to describe what that is like? I try to teach my boys tricks to remember things, for example, keep your book bag in your path so if walk over it you won't forget it. Or put your homework in your subject folder so when you pull it for class, you will remember to hand it in.

How do you cope with ADHD? Any advice for me in relation to my sons?
