Is there a consensus on what's the best way to treat General Anxiety disorder while ADHD? - eviltoast

I already go frequently to therapy and take SSRIs (for over 10 years now). I guess they kinda help as antidepressants, but anxiety wise I haven’t had any luck if it’s not Benzos or Weed (but weed creates money anxiety on the comedown)

Should I try to meditate? I’m thinking on reading anxiety books but am worried the usual tips (go exercise, eat healthier, sleep better, etc) won’t exactly work out since we think differently. I know they are all good advice but they are extremely hard to stick to.

Stimulants help but I get extremely anxious on the comedown after they wear out, so I decided not to try them anymore.

Non stimulants ADHD meds were not helping, but I might have not given them enough time to work.

Idk, I’m confused right now. Too much bruxism lately, muscle cramps and trouble sleeping. Gabapentin helps to sleep but I don’t take it daily, afraid I can get “addicted”. I usually skip weekends.

    I would talk to a psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD, but I had a lot of success dealing with my anxiety on Strattera and Lexapro. Depending on your state, psychedelics may also be a treatment option.
