newly diagnosed at 52
Hi, I was newly diagnosed at 52. I found a psychiatrist who specializes in ADD. He put me on Vyvanse. I found the medication made my ADD worse. I was totally distracted, got nothing done, was jittery and felt my HR go up and up. Has any ever had the issue that the med made the ADD worse?? Made

His pediatrician said according to a workshop she had recently attended that they found when the ADHD is treated that the anxiety part lessens. My

Hello I'm a Newbie
I can't believe I'm posting this. I, just recently (2 weeks) admitted my depression to family. It has gotten really dark. I had been taking meds for 10 years but came off them 3 months ago. I never admitted to the depression, just said it was anxiety and ADD, (BTW) Hmmm. Don't know if it took 3 months

Have you found that ADHD medication worsens anxiety?
I have an appointment with my general doctor next week to discuss starting a medication for ADHD. However, I'm concerned about the possibility of it making my anxiety symptoms worse. The one my therapist recommended I ask for is Vyvanse. Is anybody on medication for ADHD, and if so, which one, and what
