Good to know! I'm currently on a couple of medications that manage my PTSD/anxiety fairly well, so I'm hesitant to throw more into the mix in case it throws the others out of whack. I'm also going back to school (at almost 40, Jesus Christ) and haven't had any real issues with getting the work done or attending classes, which also makes me question whether it's an accurate diagnosis for me. It's just one of those things where it's really hard in some people to tell where autism starts and ADHD begins. If I start really struggling down the line I'll talk to my psych about ADHD meds, though.

According to my SO's psychiatrist anxiety meds worsen ADHD and ADHD meds worsen anxiety so pick your poison.

They picked anxiety meds too, although then it falls on me to remind them to take them. Daily :_)

Do they have any success with daily pill organizers? I live by that shit.

it's a good reminder that you've missed your dose, but not a good reminder to take the dose.

Very true, I have to put it near my toothbrush to make sure I see it and remember. My husband has ADHD and really terrible item blindness though, so I know how that goes.

They tried to put several alarms a day. It doesn't work. It only works until I roster them to take them so I can stop snoozing my alarm.
