So I have ADD and GAD. Ive been on Strattera on again off again for maybe 4 years. It never gave me any bad side effects and helped my anxiety but not the adhd side of things much. But my times taken it i have often been inconsistent forget for days at a time and then stop for months. So i cant tell if I should try something different or if im not getting the full effect because of my previous inconsistency. I just got a prescription refill and my doc thinks i should try again. I got my refil a month ago and havent started yet.

Now although i never had any problems with strattera other than some weird dreams this time im so afraid of starting again because i dont want to experience med induced psychosis or anything. I just read a couple of really scary post on a different sub about people having some horrible experiences with it and its got my anxiety going a lil. I accidentally ate too many of my friends edibles last year when I had stopped taking strattera for a couple of months and had a REALLY bad trip. Was stuck in some type of psychotic loop for hours and thought I would never be ok again. Thankfully i came down and was fine the next day but since my bad trip Im afraid having a bad reaction to drugs.

Logically ik I need medication to help with my anxiety and ADD. But im very anxious about getting back on anything or trying anything new because im afraid of psychosis. Has anyone had a fear of medication side effects and worked passed it?
