> Hello! I would also like that list of helpful sites. If I'd bothered READING the other posts here before I posted my own (couldn't focus that long -- you know how it is) I would have noticed this gold mine -- other people who suffer from comorbid adult ADD, depression and anxiety. Anyone and everyone willing to write me some e-mail and tell me any information that helped them through this would be very, very helpful. Does ADD put people at some kind of risk for depression and anxiety? I've had it all my life. (ADD, and anxiety and depression at times). Anyway.
> ErikSigh; I've searched and searched and can find very little on the treatment of ADD with anxiety.
Especially where antidepressants aren't tolerated. HAS anyone tried using benzos and stimulants together?
Is there a site with comprehensive info on this particularly insidious combination of problems?
We're truly desperate; my husband has been taken off stimulants and put on Klonopin for the anxiety, and his inattention
has already caused some severe problems, including a close encounter with 220 volts. With the Klonopin
eliminating his natural fear reactions, I'm afraid he's going to have a terrible accident!
