ADHD / Anxiety / Mood Swings | ADHD Information
Hi,
I've been diagnosed with adhd for a while now, i started with concerta
in the beginning up until 72 mg which didn't work. then i tried
combining it with 2 10 mg retalin pill that don't have a long duration
effect. which worked then, it gave me concentration and something i
never had, i wanted to actually do some work. then after 3 weeks this
effect stopped and couldn't get it back. so i decided to stop taking
any medication for 2 weeks and then tried again. I got those effects
back, but they now came together with Anxiety and High mood swings,
from Happy to having a strong feeling in your stomach that you get when
you think something is gonna happen and this going back and forward
every 5-10 minutes for about 4 hours (the duration of the 10 mg
retalin). i let this go on for about a month hoping it would stop, but
it didn't, so i started taking an anti-depressant "Anafranil" which
made the Anxiety / mood swing effects less strong but still strong
enough to cause a disturbance in my motivation to do some work.
Now the reason why i'm posting here is, i got another appointment this
friday and was wondering if anybody here had simular experiences and
those who have what other medication did you take to prevent those
"side effects"
