Suggest Treatment For ADHD And Anxiety

default
Posted on Thu, 17 Jul 2014
Question: I have anxiety and ADD. I am a 53 year old retired physician with 3 teens, having lost my oldest son in a drunk driving accident a year and a half ago. Now scared to death for my 16 year old son. i started on fluxoxamine maleate, 50 mg (always have problems with no sexual desire). Tolerating well except for sexual side effects, going to decrease dose to 25 mg. Do have some decreased motivation which i don't like and my ADHD is not being addressed. I was diagnosed ADHD when my 12 year was diagnosed last year. Tried Concerta 18 mg but it tends to keep me up until 2-3 am. I am quite sensitive to dosage. Is there something I can take which addresses both the ADHD and anxiety without causing weight gain, sexual side effects???

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing to HMC.

I can understand your concern.


Here are some remedies-

Exercise vigorously and regularly it helps work off excess energy and aggression in a positive way and soothes and calms the body.Get plenty of sleep.. Set deadlines for everything, even for seemingly small tasks. Schedule activities with friends and keep your engagements choose work that motivates and interests you. Notice how and when you work best and apply these conditions to your working environment as best you can.

Drug trials going on for Bremelanotide to be used for both male and female sexual dysfunction for some time now ask about it to your trating docotor.

Wellbutrin (bupropion) is another drug you can try after consulting with your treating doctor for depression.

Also i would like to suggest you Yoga and Meditation which will definitely improve your situation.

Also rule out diabetes.

Feel free to ask more query, if you have some.
