> I have ADHD and Social Anxiety. I currently only take klonopin, as stims add heavily to the anxiety. However the ADHD is not a main concern. I actually went on the Tenex because my doc said it might be helpful in addition to the klonopin for treating the anxiety, while possibly some help on the side for ADD. How well does it seem to work coupled with another benzo for anxiety? And also how does it actually work for ADD, and success rates on that as well?

> Thanks a lot.hi, looks like noone has personal expericence on this. I think it could help, it generally has 'downer' qualities but improves focus &c. have you tried an nri or d-amphetamine (aka dexedrine)? those might be softer on the anxiety. i'm not aware of specfic evidence on anxiety, htough any ADD caused anxiety i'd think it could help with. hows it been so far for you? i'd actually like to try this, i have the same things you've got, but my doctor wouldn't prescribe it.
