Seriously I don't get how ritalin helps if someone also has anxiety. Do you have anxiety or adhd or both? Not sure as I read an article saying if not add or adhd as a child you couldn't be as an adult so I don't get it. But lots of people here use it in combos. Phillipa

Hi Willyee..I had great success with Ritalin and Lexapro for over 6 months..was even able to return to work..however, it pooped out and never seemed to work again for me. Right now I take Modafinil which is helping. Ritalin never raised my anxiety levels and really helped me focus and concentrate.
Hope this helps.

I'm on Prozac 20 mg, Ritalin LA 10 mg, and Xanax .5 mg daily.
I take Prozac with food at breakfast (7-8 am), Ritalin in mid-morning (11 am), and Xanax at night to sleep. To counteract, the hypertension and tachycardiac effects of Ritalin, I also take Toprol XL, a beta blocker, 25 mg at night. Taking Prozac and Ritalin at the same time is not a good idea. Taking Ritalin and a benzo close in time undercuts Ritalin.
I'm in favor taking long-acting Ritalin if you need it; for me, it's to concentrate and not to get distracted. Otherwise, I'd take it. Cardiac side effects. Insomnia.
