I was just diagnosed with anxiety and adhd by a psychiatrist on Wednesday. She wants me to start on tablets for anxiety a couple weeks before starting Ritalin.

Just wondering if anyone can share their experience with having both anxiety and adhd meds together?

I’m also waiting for the report to be finalised to book for my health screen appointment prior to starting meds, she said this can take 2 weeks.

Not loving the waiting period, it’s all I’m thinking about. Potentially start the anxiety tablets in 2 weeks, the adhd a couple weeks after that, and that’s all hoping that it’s smooth sailing.

But I have a prescription from my Gp here at home for anxiety tablets that I never ended up taking because it felt not so much like anxiety what I was experiencing but more adhd. Well makes sense it is both. Anyway I’m trying to decide do I just start taking those or is it best to just wait. Such a weird place being in limbo.

As a side note, I need a referral changed to a new psychologist and my GP suddenly left the clinic I go to, feeling anxious about needing to find a new GP!! 🙁
