I’ve been on and off various types since I was 14. Swore never again after the last lot (paroxetine) and went on beta blockers for anxiety instead last year.

I felt like a lot of them made things worse and I’ve since found out - having been diagnosed with ADHD last year - that some ADs mess with dopamine levels or something so they can make those with ADHD feel worse not better.

I’m on methylphenidate now which is helping in some ways but I’m also having the worst MH crash in years and I think I need to take something alongside it. But no idea what might work.

Any thoughts?
