ADHD and anxiety.

[jessie167]

before i got diagnosed with ADHD, my anxiety was unbearable, i couldn't step out my front door on my own, i used to have bad panic attacks in school if i was on my own, town was a big NO,and i was constantly paranoid. But when i got my adhd meds they actually helped a lot, but it's starting creeping back up again,but it's not just my anxiety this time, it's my self confidence aswell😫 and the problem is, when i get anxious,it turns into anger and i don't want to be that person anymore. i don't know where i'm going with this post i suppose i just need abit of advice😰

Have you tried anti-anxiety meds along with your ADHD meds? That's your 1st stop imho. It could be the anxiety that's now twisting into anger. Because your ADHD meds soup you up, they aren't necessarily a good thing for your anxiety. You may need something to address that anxiety and bring it under control.

If that doesn't work, you could try a different ADHD med altogether. A different chemical pathway in your body. First without an anti-anxiety med and only if necessary with an anti-anxiety med but this is to be determined by your doctor, not me. I am not a doctor.

nothing a bit of selftherapy and antianxiety meds cannot help deal with.

if there are underlying issues that contribute to your anxiety and anger, you are best tackling them now and not later. Medication can only help tackle the chemical portion of these issues but not the heart-issues.
