add and seasonal affective disorder

You could very possibly have tapered off the clonazepam too quickly. When did you take your last dose and what was your tapering schedule like?

Others here will disagree with me but ADHD and SAD are symptoms of things in the system that aren't working right. I saw a naturopathic M.D. last weekend who told me that many cases of winter depression are down to hypothyroidism. I didn't know this but apparently the thyroid works twice as hard during the cold, dark days. So someone who is hypothyroid could feel OK in the summer but lousy in the winter. He even explained how light therapy helps to ease the symptoms, though he got rather technical and lost me a little there.

What is your diet like?

Has your doctor given you a thorough checkup? If not, ask him to get your thyroid, sex hormones and adrenals tested. If he won't, you can look into having these things done privately. In the meantime, diet is often a large factor in people's illnesses, physical or mental, and it is almost always a key part of the cure.

HTH. You might try reading the topics here on diagnosing SAD and Nutrition Info.

I sympathise with you, truly. But in a way these problems could be the spur you need to start putting things right. You are young and there are so many things for you to look forward to. Don't lose hope.

Best wishes,
Linda.
