i am happy you are taking the first steps in finding helpa nd to be honest this place has saved me literally…
i used to be soo scared to even think this was my issue after so many people have told me my issues….sadly i was diagnosed this past summer almost a year now and it is hard to accept along with having to take the stimulants they have given me bc the anxiety from them was horrid..
I actually start wellbutrin xl tomorrow and am a bit excited because I am not a super bad case of adhd as i work out A LOT AND balance it out with healthy food and lifestyle but i will say even though the adderall and concerta helped cognitivly and sometimes with just slowing my butt down i found that with time my anxiety was horrid..at night i became so anxious after it wore off and felt a never ending lump in my throat. i have heard form a few ppl such as myself who are older and now much calmer and only have add symptoms and cant take the stimulants either that wellbutrin has been a life savor since there is really nothing else besides strattera or nothing at all.
kudos for your step up on getting a diagnosis and i commend you for this because as i am in the same boat as a newby i am still finding it ever so difficult to accept and try to find a good treatment that wont make me zombie, zoned out, anxious above anything and something that makes me still feel like me
