This is my first post to the forum, although I am a long term lurker. Is anyone here treated for both PTSD and ADHD? I take adderall for ADHD, and a psychiatrist started me on Lexapro. It kept me awake for days. The psychiatrist told me to stop the Lexapro, and that all SSRIs would likely have the same result. He said a mechanism in the SSRIs extends the stimulant effect in the brain. He said I have to treat one or the other. Does anyone have any experience to the contrary?
1 year past my diagnosis, 2 years past the onset of symptoms and the tape in my head that's stuck on repeat telling me to kill myself is getting old. If anyone knows a good therapist in the SF Bay Area, would love that information as well. Been through about 7 so far.
