greenman,
I stopped my Concerta for 10 days to see if it would lower my pulse or my anxiety. My pulse went from 90 to 78, but the anxiety stayed high. So, I don't think that the Concerta was the primary cause of my anxiety. I'm trying Stratera now for my ADD, and so far, it's not effective. Since Celexa and Lexapro are both SSRIs, one would think the drug would help reduce, not heighten anxiety.
I just made an initial app't. for next Mon. with a therapist who specializes in anxiety disorders, including CBT. We'll see how that goes.
