Anxiety and ADHD Medication Management Tips

[omarmk]

Hey there!

I am a 18 y/o high school student. I currently suffer from generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Symptoms include trouble concentrating in class (more due to the ADHD not obsessive thoughts), anxiety from relationships, and anxiety from rigorous academic course load.

I am trying to find the right combination of stimulant (for concentration during class and homework) and anti-anxiety medication (for anxiety attacks throughout the day).

Thanks

SAME!!! I am taking Zoloft and Lamictal. Recently, I started to take Buspar. I still have many panic attacks. My doc said in order to treat GAD and ADD, anxiety HAS to be addressed first, which I am very frustrated about because it takes such a long time to manage anxiety but there isn't a guarantee that any meds would help. Zoloft's effect is unstable for me, though it helps. Buspar seems to help. Also, I sometimes have a huge appetite that really made me frusturated.
