Sorry for taking so long. Just tied up with work.

Many adults suffer from anxiety and ADHD- the double trouble. It is not unusual that they are often on a combination of something for both sides of the spectrum. they may need an antidepressant and an ADHD medications (just watch out for any drug interactions). This is a very usual combo and it is very effective. Don’t stop there….CBT, therapy, structure, routines, lifestyle…….that is the ultimate goal.

And for booze, Mr Bobcat665, it is washing away your serotonin while your SSRI is trying to keep it. Alcohol is a depressive agent and can be dangerous.

Always speak to your doctor before making any changes to medications. Dr. Jain provides advice generically and not for any one person. Advice does not constitute a therapeutic relationship or promise of care. Please consult the privacy policy for more information.
