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.

    any reason to not just occasionally take Adderall with some benzos for the come down? you certainly don’t want to do that everyday, but if you did it like twice a week you would at least have windows of super productivity
