[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - she had a neuropsych eval that confirmed her ADHD after her therapist pushed for it after her old psychiatrist said just anxiety. She used to be on SSRI (Zoloft and then Lexapro) prior to eval and they were terrible. Just flattened her and tons of side effects. Her new doctor said ADHD can present like anxiety when she is overstimulated. Her doctor says yes it can be co-morbid but many undiagnosed teen girls get diagnosed with anxiety, BPD, and even bipolar sometimes instead because most old school docs don’t know the true symptoms of ADHD in teen girls. They don’t think anxiety is an issue. So I’m just asking if anyone had success going through a lot of stimulants to find one vs going to non stimulants. [/quote] But how were the symptoms of anxiety and emotional reactivity when she was on an SSRI? sounds like you need another doctor. And is this actually a doctor or an NP? [/quote]
