Social Anxiety Support

soulsins · 01-04-2009, 10:07 AM

So I took my neat little test and I passed if you can call it that for adhd. I never thought that was it just thought it was really really bad anxiety Im 35 I thought adhd was something for someone way younger? Meeting with my therapist and my Doctor this week to talk about meds. My therapist has not told me too much info yet says she wants to wait until the Doc is there to go over her findings but says meds will help me.
So anyone suggest anything to avoid or try? Will I still have anxiety kinda confused at this point...
thanks in advance

I have been on about everything for ADHD. I have found that Adderall works the best. I have heard other people say that Vyvanese works well. I had too many side effects with Vyvanese. Concerta and Strattera did not help at all.

Ive been on Wellbutrin SR, XL, Ritalin IR, SR, Concerta, Dexedrine, and Adderall XR. Adderall XR is by far my favourite with the least side effects

btw I have inattentive ADD.

I have ADD. Not so much the H, but sometimes it shows more. I've been on Concerta, Wellbutrin, Adderall and Ritalin. I prefer Concerta everyday and Ritalin prn. A lot of people don't like Concerta, but I guess I'm proof that it can work.
