[quote=Anonymous]NP with 11 year old DS with ADHD and anxiety. We have treated the ADHD fairly successfully (low dose of a stimulant together with Intuniv). The anxiety is a much bigger issue. He had anxiety before his ADHD dx at 6 years old and we've done some therapy interspersed with anti-anxiety medication. Even low doses of the anti-anxiety meds (he's tried 2 different ones) caused a certain amount of disinhibition and had to be stopped after a couple of months. The anxiety comes and goes and manifests itself in different ways. Treating the ADHD has had its own benefits (better focus at school) and we don't think that the medication has appreciably worsened the anxiety - he's been on the same dose for some time and the anxiety just seems to increase/decrease without connection to the medication. Good luck, OP![/quote]
