I take Abilify, Guanfacine (at night), Sertraline (Zoloft), and Vyvanse (ADHD med).

I did not realize that none of these deal with or combat my anxiety, at least not directly. None of these are, say, like Xanax or any of the other meds like it.

And all these years too while my anxiety has festered. Abject fear. Dread. And agitation.

I am going to have to ask my psychiatrist about this. Apparently, there is also medication dealing directly with OCD. Again, nobody told me this and nobody out me on this. But I could have used it all this time.

I am going to try and lower my antidepressants because those make me feel tired. But the anti-anxiety meds are stuff that I need, pronto.

    Try Ashwagandha supplements. You already take a pretty crazy cocktail of meds, and introducing more complex pharmaceuticals is unlikely to give you the balance you’re looking for. Also, anecdotally Vyvanse was definitely contributing to my anxiety big time.
