What to take for ADD that won't worsen anxiety???

Posted by Saragram on November 25, 2002, at 9:38:52

I am doing very well on Lexapro for depression and anxiety, but occasionally need a xanax for breakthrough anxiety, usually in reaction to a stressful conversation/situation. Last week my pdoc confirmed my long-held belief that I've got ADD and have probably had it all my life. She referred me back to my GP for additional medication. The problem is that I am scared S**tless of taking ANY stimulant -- even caffiene gives me a case of the jitters, and the few times I've tried stimulants for dieting, it felt AWFUL. Won't any of the common ADD drugs do the same thing? BTW, I also have high blood pressure and am on a beta blockers and ACE inhibitor for that. Advice, PLEASE!
