I take Concerta for my ADHD, abilify for my horrible anxiety. I also take a blood pressure medication because the Concerta has been discovered to cause high blood pressure in me. Then, I take Klonopin as needed for anxiety. I also take vistaril as needed for allergy hives due to anxiety (this is hard to explain). Oh, and I take Clonidine to help me sleep at night...
The Clonidine helps to relax my body at night, not put me to sleep by the way. Also, I've never self-medicated for any reason unless you count over the counter stuff like pain pills or something. The Concerta helps me by keeping my focus on things longer since my short attention span is horrible. I forget what else it does. When I was younger, I had a mixed form of ADHD. It was so bad that once they found out I actually had it that they put me on ADHD medication after another for the duration of my life since second grade.
It wasn't until I finally settled on Concerta, and I have been taking it for years now. With the abilify, I used to get horrible anxiety that caused severe depressive episodes in me. It was getting to the point where I would do nothing but self-harm. So, I told my ex-psychiatrist about it. I said that an ex-friend mentioned abilify to me, so he put me on it. It's improved my life a hell of a lot more. I still get short bouts of anxiety every now and then, especially now with my convention coming up. That's why I also have the Klonopin to help it when it gets too hard to control on my own.
