[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if you find something that works decently, have you thought of yoga and meditation? Circle Yoga has great reviews for their children's mindfulness classes, apparently. I know it can't take the place of that initial medication, but in the future, when you might be thinking of lowering the dose, it might be a good buffer.

Also get a full medical check-up. Sometimes the thyroid goes screwy or something, and anxiety is a by product of a physical disorder.

Good luck.[/quote]
Thank you for your suggestion. He has tried meditation, but can't do it.  His ADHD and anxiety are too severe. He acts like a veteran with a PTSD and evaluates each situation as a war zone. It took me a while to understand that even though his ADD is inattentive, that didn't mean he was inattentive at all, whatever paradox that is.  Once on medication he explained to me, that he sees and hears everything, all the stimuli are coming at him and add to that severe anxiety, it is incredible that he is an A student and can function to the level he does. (He was an A student without medication) I have done exposure therapy, he can now travel alone to Europe(he is a teen), I keep telling him how proud I am of him and everything he does, but it is never enough for him, he is his own worst critic.[/quote]
