Meds that help with work and home life?
I've had attention, anxiety, and emotional regulation issues since I can remember. I'm 40 now and finally decided to do something about it since I've been slipping up more frequently at work. Started therapy and meds and still new to navigating this world of mental health. I'm currently on Wellbutrin/bupropion for my attention issues, but I feel like it's not addressing my anxiety or anger issues. I may be doing slightly better at work but at home I am still an anxious, shouty mess. I'm not sure where my ADHD ends and anxiety begins. I feel like anything that can fix my attention issues may exacerbate my anger issues, at the same time my ability to be good at my job takes precedence because we need $$ and health insurance. Does anyone here have experience with medications that might give me balance on both fronts? I was previously wary of SSRIs but maybe that is something I need to dip my toe into.
I have follow up appointment with my doc in a few days and will address these issues, but wanted to crowdsource this group's experiences first. Thanks you!
