Believe me, I know what you mean with ADHD med side effects. I've been on and off various meds for mine since the second grade. I hear Ritalin is literally the worst. I took this once and it didn't make me better, but it actually made me much worse than what I was. I'm currently taking Concerta, and it's worked wonders for me. I've taken it for years, and it's never caused me any issues... if at all. :3 Still, I get what you mean. I've also never tried anti-depressants for my anxiety. I currently take an anti-psychotic for mine called Abilify. I used to get heavy depressive tendencies with mine that made my life hell, basically. I don't get that anymore since I started taking that. Though, I still deal with constant anxiety on a daily basis. x___x (I didn't want to post this in the thread and throw it off topic.)
