Suggest medication for anxiety from ADHD issues
human
My doctor has been trying to treat my anxiety from ADHD issues with antidepressants, I have tried 3 different kinds, and each one has had the same effect on me, they make me cry for no reason at all and make me very very tired. I was wondering if my doctor is not taking the right route, or what I need to do in the long run, because I do not enjoy feeling this way.
