Hi Coop! I think we've chatted on the SocialAnxiety board and I've read a lot of your posts over at addforums and they're really helpful. My handle on addforums is JustMe81 and I'm known as PaulKersey over on SAS. I don't know why I didn't just pick one nic... but anyway...

Some of your over there are really great and pointed me in the right direction that ADHD-I is really probably a different problem in the brain than regular ADHD is. It really seems like the problems of the two diagnoses (aside from the attention problems) are distinct.

I hope you can find a combo that works for you that can help you take the Dex that you need and also not suffer from too much panic/anxiety. Have you tried Focalin at all? One thing that worked for me in the past with Adderall was taking 60-90mg of Cymbalta along with it. The Cymbalta really stabalized me while the Adderall, of course, took care of the ADD. Both helped with depression. Klonopin did its bit as well.

I took weekend breaks from the Adderall when I was taking it otherwise I risked "building up" too much anxiety. I don't know if this would work in your situation. This is probably the combo I'll go back to if the Lexapro/Dexedrine combo doesn't work out.
