[quote=Anonymous]Just from personal experience, I am ADHD co-morbid with GAD. What I have found is medication works best to manage my ADHD and CBT and other mindfulness strategies are most effective for my anxiety. I resisted medication for my ADHD for a long time and was on anxiety meds for GAD with no noticeable results. I finally have a psychiatrist who had me make a plan for trying the ADHD meds and meeting the anxiety with cognitive strategies. And it really is the best solution. Cognitive and behavioral strategies are good supports for my ADHD but without medication they don't manage it well, and my anxiety is through the roof. On ADHD meds, I am able to think clearly enough to plan out how I will manage my anxiety. Both will always be there but this strategy keeps them in the background for me -- managed.[/quote]
