[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would focus on medication adjustment. A minority of kids with ADHD get more anxious and emotional on stimulants, which may be part of the issue. Strattera and guanfacine are non stimulant options for ADHD that usually help with emotional regulation, and then there are things like Zoloft to help with anxiety. Is he in therapy? Something like SPACE might be helpful. It sounds like he has low distress tolerance and a lot of attempts to avoid anything that causes anxiety. Hope you're able to find something that helps soon.[/quote] OP: I will ask my psychiatrist about strattera. He is in CBT and DBT-C right now. I agree that anxiety is a big part of it, but there is more going on that we are trying to figure out with medications and therapy.[/quote]
