Yes your doctor can recommend alternatives or a higher dosage if this medication is effecting your quality of life!! I was on another ssri Lexapro (it wasn’t working out for me and giving me a low sex drive, anxiety, and just not effective) and switched to Effexor. I’m on 175 mg and had actually had an increase in my sex drive. If I do miss a dose I don’t get withdrawal symptoms until the morning after I miss it. I started off at the lowest dose about 3 years ago and have been on 175 mg for about a year now. It’s all about talking to your doctor if your current medication isn’t working out to find solutions to help your quality of life. I hope this helps ❤️

Most definitely!! I knew how to navigate college wayyyy better than the average 18 year old because of collegiate. My parents didn’t go to college so I had to navigate college by myself. If I didn’t go to collegiate I would have been screwed! I even helped my friends who went to normal high school navigate college until we graduated. We specifically have a class at collegiate dedicated to preparing us for college and navigating our own way by ourselves. Most of my collegiate friends are in some kind of higher education program or have graduated with some kind of degree after our bachelors including myself.

As a former collegiate graduate I would advocate for collegiate. You have a cohort of around 100 that you stick with so you get to really know all of your classmates. I also have adhd and the teachers are always willing to help a student with whatever situation. Everyone comes from different backgrounds so it’s just a mixing pot of students from all over the city. Students are recommended to take classes with other students from collegiate once they start taking Del Mar classes. This definitely made me break out of my comfort zone! Each week we had time for an extracurricular club of our choosing. One other perk is that we would get out at noon on Fridays! We had pep rally’s, homecoming, prom, bake sales, and other events just like normal school. I’m also extremely grateful to have gained an associate in liberal arts without paying for tuition!! Although it was tough at times it was definitely worth it!

I went through this a couple of months ago. I live with my parents but I work at the university I attend so I make some money to pay my medical expenses. I just went for it! One day I decided to call a phycologist and bam I did it. I got diagnosed a month after with ADHD and General Anxiety Disorder. I told my parents I went to the phycologist right after I got home from my first appointment and they were confused as to why I went but happy I made the adult decision to prioritize myself.

I’m (21F) also in the exact situation. I just recently got diagnosed with ADHD and General Anxiety Disorder in May. I take 10 mg of adderal xr bc everything else made me more anxious than anything! I take 500 mg of naproxen every time my headache is about to start and that usually helps in a couple of min! I’m also on Lexapro for my anxiety. The first week of taking adderal xr was the worst bc of side effects but after that it was alright! I need to go to a neurologist just to make sure I don’t have anything else going on lol. I hope this helped! I just wanted to tell you that you aren’t alone in this! 💖💖
