      Anyone try this? It's natural and supposed to help with ADD/ADHD and anxiety. I tried it awhile back…

    • I’m With You

      From Enlightened1 November 16

      See that is was worrys me. I feel early intervention saved my other child with server special needs. And I know I was helped by seeing a therapist by age 5. I also tried meds when I was older but often did not like them as they caused a bad reaction. I think you for your courage to type as you did and to try and help me. Thank you. Also how could I maybe help her with social issues like kids rejecting her. I try and tell her its ok some kids dont like to play with some children and it was ok because she tried and she always has her sister and try and reassure her shes a good child even if she can be more then a hand full at times. I just cant recall much when I was a kid except when she does things I like get a memory flood of when I did that as a child. I have PTSD so I think that is why it can be hard and I try to hide my past.

      Hi Touchs, I saw your post in the anxiety group. I'm so happy that your new med is working. I'm amazed that your heart could be the issue. There are heart problems in my family so I'm going to ask my doctor to do a cardiogram, stress test, etc... Thanks for the info. Wish me luck! Hugs

    • Close ADHD / ADD

      Been diagnosed 3 times with ADD. Can't handle the stimulant meds because of a heart condition.

      Treatments

      Adderall Not Working
      Made my heart go nuts. I would have extreme highs and lows on it. The crashes were horrible. Had to get off of it because I felt like I was dying.
      Ritalin Not Working
      Also made my heart go nuts. I was also too focused. Felt like a complete idiot on it.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      I didn't notice an improvement on my mood at all. I seemed to be more focused but very forgetful. Woke up one day and every muscle in my body ached so bad. Also got severe anxiety and chest pain. Felt like I was having a panic attack.
    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Was diagnosed with this on top of ADD.

      Treatments

      Ativan Somewhat Helpful
      I was prescribed this after a panic attack. It put me right to sleep. It's obviously something that can't be taken on a daily basis. So in that aspect it wasn't very helpful.
      Celexa Somewhat Helpful
      It unfortunately made my heart act up and became super anorexic on it. I would shake pouring a glass of water. I did notice an improvement with my mood however I became a little antisocial in group settings. Usually I am very outgoing and noticed I didn't talk near as much as I usually do. I unfortunately didn't have any motivation on it. I don't anyhow but it never improved it.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      I hated this. No mood improvement. Woke up one day and every muscle in my body ached. Got severe chest pain and anxiety. Felt like I was having a panic attack... couldn't breath. This is definitely not something someone with heart problems should take.
    • Open Arrhythmias

      I have mitral valve prolapse and tachycardia due to my node impulses rerouting back to the node. Not sure the exact diagnosis for that yet.

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Treatments

      Celexa Somewhat Helpful
      It made me shaky, anorexic, and quieter. Also made my heart race. It did improve my mood somewhat but still wasn't motivated to do anything.
      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      Felt high on this. Wanted to frolick in the park but was too busy laying around being happy. I still wasn't motivated to get anything done though. Usually I am very outgoing with people and on this I didn't want to talk to people I didn't know that well.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      This works sometimes but not all the time.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      I woke up one day with bad muscle pain and chest pain. It did help me focus but I was still forgetful and irritable. It didn't do anything for my mood.
    • Open Anxiety

      I have anxiety amongst everything else...
