And therein lies a conundrum. I' certainly doing things now that I never would have believed that I would be doing; comfortably and without medication; but I didn't get there without meds and comfortably.
I have an ADHD child, a child with a learning disability and I have ADHD plus a fast pace, higher stress kind of job where I need facts and figures to be at the tip of my tongue and in the forefront of my mind. SSRI's and benzo's killed that for me and life at work and at home was a total nightmare.
I am thankful for Emsam and hope that it continues to work well for me and I hope for the best for you. As with any kind of anxiety, exposure and doing are the best thing that you can do to overcome it.
If you can't pursue the career path that you want, there are lots of other things that you can do that are certainly noble and respectable professions. What's more important in the whole grand scheme of life, is that YOU are ok, that you are a happy, adjusted person who is comfortable with herself and her environment.
