I have recently begun taking Lexapro but feel that I may also have an attention deficit disorder. I addressed the depression/anxiety first, as it was a far more pressing issue, but now am wondering about my whole health. Can ADD/ADHD and depression/anxiety be treated simultaneously? Would adderall just be more likely to cause extra anxiety?
HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor Attention deficit could be possible due to underline anxiety or depression. In that case, you do not need Adderall. Wit proper antidepressant dose, you would be improved. Adderall could increase the anxiety due to its stimulant effect. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment with antidepressant. In case, you are not getting good response with learn, you can switch to another antidepressant or add one more antidepressant in treatment. Thanks
