Sorry if this is the wrong section, feel free to move it.

A little background:

I have been on drugs on and off for 11 years. for one of the years i snorted ritalin everyday, another year i did 30-50 ecstasy pills(MDMA) every weekend.
My last addiction and also the most extreme was MDPV (1-3 grams smoked a day) but now i have been clean for 1.5 years now. I also took benzo's while i did MDPV.

In between i have done every rc under the sun, always stupid amounts and reckless combinations:

A couple of examples:

http://www.bluelight.org/vb/threads/591564-Need-a-quick-answer!!!-(200mg-MDAI-100mg-mpa-500mg-Mephedrone-6-APB)



Anyway im going back to school soon. My dream is to study chemistry or biochemistry. But i have a long way to go and i have severe ADHD.
but all stimulants makes me anxious and depressed, and i crash shortly after it kicks in. Even caffeine has this effect on me. Phenibut or benzo's obliterates the problem completely, but as im a former drug addict thats not really i viable long term option. And im not sure i can make it with my ADHD untreated

ADHD meds i have tried:

Ritalin
Concerta
Vyvanse
Straterra

Non ADHD meds i have tried:
Escitalopram
Paroxetine
Duloxetine
Venlafaxine
Mirtazapine

Meds that work:

quetiapine 25mg x 2 for sleep. I havve taken this for insomnia for 2-3 years.
Benzos This obliterates any stimulant anxiety completely.I have not taken benzo's for 1.5 years.
Phenibut This obliterates any stimulant anxiety completely. If i take 50mg vyvanse and 3-4g phenibut i get a perfect day.


Diet:

Ketogenic diet
5% Carbs.
25% Protein.
70% Fat.
always a minimum of 600 grams of leafy green vegetables.

Exercise:
Heavy full body workout Monday,Wednessday, and friday
30 minutes HIIT tuesday, thursday, saturday, and sunday.

My psyhchiatrist has offered me lyrica, but i have heard some bad things about lyrica and memory, and as im going back to school im a bit on the fence regarding the lyrica. Should i be?
Also is lyrica effective at combating Stimulants anxiety?

It would be great to hear from anyone has been in the same situation, or has some advice for me.

Thanks in advance

Only your doctor knows what's best for you. If that's a concern, bring it up. It's a lot better than taking advice from a bunch of randos.
