Seeking advices for medications with ADHD, TAG and depression.

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out to this community because I'm feeling quite lost and could really use some advice. I have been diagnosed with ADHD by neuropsychologists, along with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and depression. Currently, I'm taking Strattera and Zoloft, but I'm facing some significant challenges.

My Current Situation:

• Strattera: It helps a bit, mainly by reducing my urge to use drugs (I'm a recovering addict), but overall, its effects are minimal.
• Zoloft: Despite being on it for 4 months, it causes severe insomnia. Additionally, it triggers cravings for drugs, which I haven't experienced in a long time. I will likely need to stop taking it.

Challenges with Other Medications:

• Stimulants: While they help in the afternoon, they leave me feeling extremely depressed later on, so they aren't a viable option.
• Wellbutrin: My doctor advised against it due to its potential to worsen anxiety.

What I'm Looking For: I need a medication that can help me manage my intense emotions and constant anxiety. I feel that if I were calmer, my ADHD symptoms might be more manageable. I've considered Buspirone, but I'm unsure if it's the right choice since I also need something for depression. My sadness feels chemical and without any apparent reason.

My Struggles:

• I feel like a lost cause and don't know what to do next.
• I need a medication that can help with both my anxiety and depression without causing severe side effects or cravings.

Has anyone else faced a similar situation? What medications or combinations have worked for you? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
