ADD meds, anxiety, depression

Posted by marip on November 20, 2003, at 6:45:51

Hi--
Im 27 and recently been diagnosed ADD--Ive been taking various SSRIs and Wellbutrin for the past 2 years--(PRozac, Celexa, Wellbutrin, Effexor). Except Effexor, all worked for a while and then stopped--some helped me feel more "together" like the prozac, others didnt really address the ADD feelings at all.
My MD wants me to take Zoloft now, but I wonder if I should try a specific ADD med also--what are people's personal experiences with the ADD meds, stimulant like Ritalin, and not like Adderal and Strattera? Do they increase your anxiety if you have it? Do they add to the effects of other ADs and help you feel even better? Or do they have bad side effects like everything does that just makes you feel medicated? I want to feel organized and "together" in mylife but I cant stand anxiety on top of everything--or depression for that matter!!
Thanks anyone for sharing,
Marip, again
