Need second opinion: You are on a unique combination of medications. Of the three, Wellbutrin (bupropion) has been shown to be helpful for ADHD, anxiety and depression. Ability has been used for anxiety. Speak to your doctor to find out why this combination is being used. If you are still uncomfortable you may benefit from a second opinion.

It is important to find the correct combination of medications with your Psychiatrist. Have a physical exam to rule out illness. If you are not confident in your Dr. see another for a 2nd opinion. Medications are not sufficient since they do not teach you coping. Psychotherapy with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy can help your medications to work better.
