[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anxiety is frequently co-morbid with ADHD. Has your dd been screened for anxiety? Does her therapist suspect anxiety? The stimulants that help kids focus in school also help them focus on things that make them anxious. A non stimulant medication for ADHD might benefit your dd, but she might also need treatment for anxiety.[/quote] +1 My nephew tried several stimulants to treat ADHD and nothing helped. They switched to an anti-anxiety medication and it made a huge difference. [/quote] Same but what I found is it didn’t help with the ADHD at all. Just the anxiety that creeped in because of not feeling “normal” with peers because of ADHD symptoms. So after failed stimulants, we started Lexapro and then starting Concerta a month later. So much better. [/quote]
