As a provider, it’s so important to take vacations off your meds. No one needs 20 mg of a stimulant 3 times a day. It’s frustrating to see providers set their pts up for failure and not paying attention to pt overall well being. Prolonged use can cause early dementia as well.

Can you do a video on distinguishing between ADHD-Inattentive symptoms and anxiety/depression symptoms? I read about many adults receiving an ADHD diagnosis after decades of treatment for depression/anxiety and years of trying various antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds to no avail. How can patients advocate for themselves when faced with providers who insist on what may be the wrong diagnosis?

Thank you so much for this channel.I'm medical student and your videos help me a ton!

Thank You! And you are the Best in this niche right now on KZread! Seriously!

Not necessarily a withdrawal question. I have terrible anxiety. Especially health anxiety where anything health related can trigger my anxiety. Headaches, palpitations, stomach pain etc… causes my anxiety attacks. I used to be on klonopin and Zoloft. I weaned off for about 2 yrs. My anxiety returned and I’m on lexapro now. Now I have lots of jawclen hing, nausea and headaches. Could Zoloft be better or what should I do?

Those are adverse effects you are experiencing from Lexapro. Have you tried therapy? That would be safest approach and can be very effective. If you are determined to stick with medication despite all the risks including antidepressant withdrawal, I would suggest getting a genesight test to see which medications your body can metabolize more easily with less risk of side effects. Also make sure you don't have nutrient deficiencies, commonly with this it can be B12, Folate, Zinc, Magnesium, Vitamin D and Omega-3s.

@@LevelheadedMind I was in therapy for a while. It helped to give me techniques to try and help but not enough. I spoke to my doctor a few days ago and I’m back on Zoloft. I’m not sure how I can request for those test you recommend. I can ask or maybe contact a special lab? Thank you so much for recommending it. I’ll def look into that.
