trying strattera | ADHD Information
hey guys, this is my first time posting, most of my life i have had depression and anxiety with suicidal thoughts, then i got into opiates for about 10 years now ive been clean for about 4 years, im seeing a therapist and psychiatrist my psych problems are worse except im not suicidal anymore but now my psych thinks i might have ADD without hyperactivity, im on lexapro and ativan now, i have tried every antidepressant, antipsychotic, drugs for bipolar, so now she wants to try me on strattera cuz its not addicting, but we are both not sure if the add symptoms are from the depression and anxiety or ADD or both, the lexapro isnt helping much i have been on it for a couple of months now, i also might have OCD, i constantly pick at teh skin on my face and my thoughts are ruminating and dwelling and worring constantly where i freeze and cant do anything, ive also been diagnosed with GAD and ive tried things like buspar for that and it didnt work, i know this is long, i was just needing some feedback or advice about this, thanks in advance.
the problems you are having with suicidal thoughts i have had
the add and other also check.
their is a way out.
we adders hold a bad thought or something bad happening and dwell on it them it magnifies and we are all of a sudden looking at it as a huge problem.
lets just start by treating one problem first ,most of the other stuff except adhd is a spinoff from adhd.
bipolar and turrets and other illnesses can come from unmedicated adhd.
plus not knowing what you are dealing with and the symptoms to look for
