In addition to ADD I also suffer with severe anxiety,major depression,OCD,& agoraphobia.Thru medication they are all under control at this time.

You didn't list anxiety or depression--probably the most common comorbidities with ADHD.

I have OCD, social phobia, GAD, and atypical depression.

If you don't mind sharing, what meds are you on? I have a very similar profile.

The medications I am on:Paxil-60mgs daily
Abilify-30mgs daily
Dexedrine-10mgs daily
Xanax-.5mgs. 3-4 times daily
I have been on this combination for 4.5yrs. & for the first time in my life, I can say that I feel really good.(I am 54yrs)I think the Abilify has made the biggest difference in my life.Hope this helps.

Thanks, buddy!

Was your depression of the atypical variant--oversleeping, possibly carb cravings/overeating, very low energy, apathy and anhedonia, possibly mood reactivity/worse mood at night?

[StoicNate]

Asperger's, Mathematics Disability.

I have Major depression-it affects all aspects of my life.It affects my sleep(either too much or not able to sleep)I either don't eat or sometimes have the carb. cravings.I do have the low energy,apathy & terrible mood swings.(the Abilify eliminates these).I always say it's like a black cloud has come down over me.I have had this since I was a child.

[Lunacie]

Depression
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
possibly on the Autism spectrum
Really bad with numbers and handwriting (sometimes typing)

[Twiggy]

I highly think I might have Social Anxiety Disorder.
It all fits.

I have anxiety but I was told that was mainly from some problems that stem from ADHD. I panic very easily over things, but I don't think it's from an anxiety disorder. I think I'm just oversensitive.
