HELP! ONLY THOSE who have improved/managed GREATLY/healed from EXTREME Generalized ANXIETY DISORDER, MAJOR DEPRESSION DISORDER, ANEDONIA
Not crying wolf, after 17 months of this cycle I almost gave up yesterday (had come off klonopin for 2 weeks then had to watch a suicide prevention video within my field of work not for the public from my employer even though I’m not officially working), never would have thought I’d get that close…..

I'm going to come clean with all of you about some truths I have recently learned. I started taking pre and pro biotics years ago for my IBS. I studied and believed in them and they worked for years. Then they stopped. My Niece studied gluten and it's effect on anxiety and other symptoms she was experiencing

More information about my last post
So you should know this same scenario plays out continuously in daily life, driving or not. She is very good at detecting any frustration or anger on my part. If she shows no awareness I sometimes warn her that I'm getting upset about.... whatever. Her response is to provoke me, no kidding. She knows

Anxious
I've been on Adderall for two days now and so far my experience is not so great. Im on 20mg, I take 10mg in the morning and 10 in the afternoon. My first day on Adderall, was half good and half bad. After taking my first dose I really felt like the medicine was working but for my second dose I notice

How does medication affect your life?
Hello, Recently I was put on IR adderall, I took 10mg 8am, 20mg 1:30-2pm (depends on when I could get my break at work), and 10mg at 4-5pm. Before this I was on Vyvanse for a year and stopped taking it due to not feeling myself. While I was taking adderall I got moody at about 8pm, constant fights

Adderall not working like it use to
Recently diagnosed from the VA for ADHD which I knew I've had for a long time. I started with adderall a few months ago. Started with 10mg 2x a day, then went to 15mg 2x, then 20mg 2x and now I'm at 30mg 2x a day and I feel like I've built up such a tolerance to it so fast that it isn't working like

Struggling after the death of a psychiatrist
I'm here to find help and support for my adult daughter who was diagnosed with ADHD in high school about 10 years ago. She saw her psychiatrist for four, maybe five years, once a month and he prescribed Vyvanse and Adderall. This past summer he died unexpectedly. She did not get her records from him

Help the paranoid, anxiety ridden ADHD chick lol
I just got started on 20 mg adderall. Technically a 10 mg 2 times a day. I'm 24 and just diagnosed. I've never taken any medications like this (long term kind of thing), and honestly because of the sever paranoia/anxiety. I never ask enough questions or feel like they're gonna judge me when I ask. What

What To Do
I don’t know what to do; I feel like no matter how hard I try I just can’t focus for even 2 minutes and I’m always moving around and having so much energy. I’ve tried being off adhd medicine for 10 years but it’s so much work to try and focus and stay calm instead of being on the medicine. I was on adderall

ADHD & OCD
Can adhd mimick symptoms of ocd? Because I was diagnosed with adhd in 9th grade and symptoms of ocd didn't start until after I was diagnosed with adhd and put on antidepressants. And it also seemed like the ocd like symptoms started after I was put on adderall but got exacerbated after they took me off

Combining ADHD and Anxiety meds for inattentive type? Please share your experience...
Hello, my 16 year old son was diagnosed with anxiety in 3rd grade but with ADHD, inattentive this past summer at age 16. He still suffers with anxiety, mostly social anxiety. His lack of executive functioning seems to be the biggest issue right now with some impulsivity. He had already been on Paxil

Anyone on or tried Adderall?
I'm at a loss as far as meds go. Nothing seems to work. My consentration is aweful and I have zero energy. Would Adderall help? I remember as a kid it helped me tremendously but it's been many many years since. Thanks
