[QUOTE="DadInProgress, post: 732307, member: 23023"] If the ADD was the initial diagnosis, probably start there. Adderal XR worked great for my oldest. As far as anxiety, it may be induced by stress over the ADD. Having to deal with an untreated ADD brain is hell. Same with the mood disorder, emotional dysregulation is one most common traits for untreated adders. Meaning if it is just ADD, these should subside with appropriate treatment. Note - While this is often seen in ADDers, I’m not suggesting you ignore any medical advice. It may just be something to inquire about. Medication won’t fix it alone. Having a very clear understanding of add will help more than anything. Beyond that, coaching and support. Also, adders, hear and perceive differently. I had to relearn how to talk to and support my daughter. Everyone is different, I’m not a medical professional, these are just my experiences. And as an ADHDer myself who went through the trauma of feeling like a failure growing up, a bunch of incorrect diagnoses and self-medicating....I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. [/QUOTE]
