Is anyone on aps and adderal?

I was thinking about asking to add adderal to my meds…I’ve been having racing thoughts and getting distracted by it to the extreme…I have a short attention span anyway I need some focus…was wondering if this combo is useable…

Are your racing thoughts something new?

No just worse on my new ap…

Maybe talk with your pdoc about options?

Mindfulness techniques are useful, although I find that they can sometimes be difficult to apply when in the throws of a symptom flare up.

I try to use mindfulness to manage my anxiety symptoms, but I find that if I’m in a full blown panic attack, I can’t successfully apply mindfulness techniques.

Yeah, I get similar issues when in a full blown anxiety attack, except my thoughts are all of the catastrophic thinking variety. I sometimes just let it run its course, but it can be very draining energy-wise and it can literally take days in the worst case.
