[QUOTE="jal, post: 255218, member: 3477"] Kjs-FWIW - Please be careful with-the Xanax. It is highly habit forming and addictive. I say this because of an incident this past week in my immediate family where a family member was prescribed it for severe anxiety. This family member is a recovering alcoholic and has no previous experience with-this type of medication or any medications. This person lost 1 1/2 days this past week. Once we discovered what happened we were told this medication is like pouring alcohol down his throat. A friend who is a pharmacist said you won't believe the people who line up the day they can renew their script for that stuff. We had tried a combo of tenex and straterra for ADHD, but it never seemed to help with that or anxiety. Our psychiatrist kept insisting to treat the ADHD first and we tried every stimulant under the sun and my difficult child reacted badly to every single one. The only thing that we have had amazing results with is fluexotine (prozac). With difficult child too, it's not ADHD but sensory processing disorder (SPD) that is presenting as ADHD. I defintely agree a new psychiatrist is in order. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
