Hello,
Anyone ever seen a person that has ADHD with OCD? I seem to exhibit both, but it is difficult to treat one without making the other worse. The SSRI's help the OCD, but make the ADHD worse. The stimulants help the ADHD, but worsen the OCD. A combination of the two is an idea, but I can't get the two meds balanced right, because I don't know which is the primary problem. I think maybe the ADHD. I seem to not be able to reason and judge things well, so I obsess over them again and again, because my judgement and self-esteem are poor. I am mainly referring to appearance type things. Anyone have any response on this. Could I be being treated for a primary OCD, but ADHD be the primary problem? Or, are the two often seen together? I would appreciate any response.
Frankie.
