Medication advice, what works for you?

I’ve been on Zoloft (lost mojo, didn’t help ADHD but did stabilise my mood), Valium worked wonders however is only a band-aid (back to square one as soon as you stop taking it). Was going to try Ritalin next but unsure if it would make anxiety flare-up.. what has worked/hasn’t worked for you, what’s been your path?

I take Wellbutrin & Lexipro for my mental health, Vyvanse for ADHD & binge eating disorder, and adderall in the afternoon for a pick me up. We’re still tweaking the ADHD meds because they don’t seem effective.

I use Medikinet which is to my knowledge similar to Ritalin and at first for about a month I had worse anxiety (to a big degree) and would get angry very easily. It helped a lot that I was aware of it being a side effect.

I’m on other mental health meds as well…but for ADHD, I was on Ritalin but hated dealing with the crashes. Now I’m on Concerta (extended release Ritalin) and it’s much better.
