I started having panic attacks/GAD when I was about 11. At 5 I was DX ADHD ans was scripted Ritalin. "They" suspect that methylphenidate may have been what "brought on" the severe panic/GAD.
I was 16 when I finally read up on it. I was correctly DX and put on Prozac and Xanax.
These days I take 6mg Xanax and 60mg Cymbalta per day. All seems to be a lot better (except when I'm running out of meds!!!)
