Hi nsgblx:

Welcome to the ADDitude forums! First of all, have you been diagnosed with ADHD and are you taking any medication? Anxiety is a common comorbid condition accompanying adult ADHD, and it sounds like that might be what's at work here.

But I'm no expert, so I would suggest seeing your doctor, describing your ADHD panic attacks and potentially tweaking your medication to help this anxiety as well as the attention deficit.

I hope that helps!

Hi nsgblx, I am new to this forum. I know exactly what you are talking about, I have been there with the panic and anxiety for years. I would agree with Anni, I would suggest that you seriously look at the medication option. I say that after spending years of just having therapy without medication. Over the last couple of months, my psychologist suggested a certain medication to deal with my anxiety and panic. I started taking this medication and what a difference in terms of my head space. My life is not constantly controlled by fear & anxiety. I am no longer making a big thing out of little things.
