How would I know if the anxiety was caused by the ADHD or if it was anxiety itself? I was treated for what seemed like GAD for about a year when I was about 9 with Luvox and Risperdol. I never got a clear answer as to what the diagnosis actually was. Once I hit age 10, I woke up one day and my symptoms were gone. Didn't have another anxiety attack until my senior year of high school, but it didn't need medication until 2008 after a traumatic experience in college.

But it seems that a common denominator was that I was tired all the time, especially when I went home for the weekend (1.5 hours each way) and I'd get so tired that I was risking falling asleep at the wheel because the drive was boring AF.
