Help me, I have ADD but when I take my meds they give me over whelming anxiety that I go home and pick at every nonexistent pimple. Any home remedies besides working out for a broke college student?

talk to your psychiatrist and see if they can put you on another medication. make sure you have all your insurance and prescription info. for some reason i have different cards for each thing and i was paying full price for way too long

They suggested I change to a non-Stim but it may not do anything.
