I have been worrying the same thing lately, like "why can't I just make it without all this stuff?" But when I look at how far they have gotten me from where I was, especially the adderall, I am very thankful that I have these tools at my disposal. Without them I would likely not have my diploma nor be a dedicated college student. However, I think the stims can amplify anxiety and depression from time to time, so if the ativan and the ambien counteract that I say why not take them! Unless they are creating another subset of undesirable symptoms I would just assume not worry about it! Good luck! Matt
