I was diagnosed with both ADD and generalized anxiety (though, admittedly, not by the same person) and I found out I couldn’t take the ADD meds, because they kind of turn me into MORE of a basket case than I usually am.
My therapist seems to think my inattentiveness is due to my anxiety, while my psychiatrist (who diagnosed the ADD) seems to think the opposite.
So ya…word of warning to people with anxiety…do NOT take stimulant medications.
