Negative Response to MedsFiled Under: ADHD and Depression, ADHD and Anxiety, ADHD Stimulant Medications
Q:
"I began taking a stimulant last week, and I experienced anxiety, depression, and crying spells as the medication wore off. Does my negative response mean I don't have AD/HD?" 
A:
Your experience suggests that either you don't have AD/HD - or that you have additional problems with anxiety, depression, or another psychiatric disorder. Discuss your concerns with your psychiatrist.
Larry Silver, M.D., is the author of Dr. Larry Silver's Advice to Parents on AD/HD and The Misunderstood Child: Understanding and Coping with Your Child's Learning Disabilities. He is also a clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
