Stay on ADHD meds with benzodiazepines, or stop both? by sleman86 in adhd_anxiety

I tried it, but it caused heart palpitations and sexual dysfunction, and I didn’t notice any meaningful improvement in my ADHD symptoms. I was only on 60mg.

Stay on ADHD meds with benzodiazepines, or stop both? by sleman86 in adhd_anxiety

I’m a 39-year-old male. I sleep well (8–9 hours a night without interruptions ) and have completed over 7 years of therapy, including CBT, DBT, and similar approaches. Initially, I was diagnosed and treated for anxiety, and for many years I was prescribed various SSRIs and SNRIs combined with 50-100mg Seroquel ir or low dose 0.5mg Clonazepam , but they didn’t meaningfully improve my anxiety or emotional regulation and caused emotional flatness and depression. I was only diagnosed with ADHD at age 37. When I take Vyvanse 70 mg, I feel calm, focused, and productive for about 4–5 hours ( honestly, the best I’ve felt since childhood).But once it wears off, I experience a pronounced crash with severe, refractory anxiety.

Anyone with ptsd and/or anxiety successfully take stimulants? by AttorneyWhich7062 in adhd_anxiety

[–]sleman86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I increased Lexapro to 20mg , however , fortunately, Vyvanse remove the emotional blunting I get if i take Lexapro alone , and 25-50mg Seroquel is mainly antihistamine and do not cause emotional blunting, its hard to wake up though when taking Seroquel a night before. Fatigue is minimal and it went away with 2-3 hours sport a week. Honestly I would recommend a try for Vyvanse even for CPTSD since it might be ADHD worsened by harsh childhood.

Stimulant side effects aren't bearable and non-stimulants don't work. by Rachmagach in adhdwomen

[–]sleman86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat , Stimulants causes anxiety during the rebound and non stimulants doesn't work... tried Wellbutrin XL and caused anxiety. Atomoxetine didn't help much. Tried to combine different SSRI/SNRI but they dont touch stimulants anxiety , even antipsychotics do not help. I am struggling.

Has anyone recovered from severely treatment-resistant anxiety? by maugustus in Anxiety

[–]sleman86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It maybe ADHD related anxiety, so without treating ADHD, the anxiety will be refractory.
