Anxiety and ADD-What meds are best to treat both?

Has any successfully used a combination of stimulants AND benzodiazpines (xanax, valium, ativan, etc.?) It seems that benzos work great for anxiety, but do nothing for ADD, energy level and focus. Stimulant medications work for energy and focus, but seem to cause more anxiety for most people. Has anyone used both types of medications? What was the result?

I have ADD and mild anxiety too. I currently take Adderall, but nothing for anxiety. Adderall did increase my anxiety when I first started taking it, but now it doesn’t what so ever. As for benzodiazpines, I wouldn’t reccomend them. They make you tired and VERY forgetful. I take 5-htp for when I have anxiety or i need to relax. It is a natural chemical that increases seritonin levels in your brain, boosting your mood, decreasing appetite, and rids anxiety. I would talk to your doctor about different options. The best thing thought, honestly, is to be on as little medication as possible. Alot of doctors are quick to hand out meds, because they receive endorsments for selling medications. Another good thing to do, is get congitive behavior therapy. It is better than any form of medication, because it works on your brain and changes your brain waves. In actuality, medication just covers up problems, rather than solving them. having ADD is not always a bad thing, you can use it to your advantage, for example being able to multi-task like no other. I know plently of very successful and happy people who are ADD and ADHD. good luck with everything.
