I have both anxiety and OCD.
Because of that, I was also put on strattera because the stimulants can raise anxiety. Usually, you treat one thing at a time and once that is under control, you can tackle the others. I got my anxiety under control and then switched to focalin for my add, which is a stimulant. Things are going fine. I guess talk to your pdoc about whatever one is impacting your life more- the anxiety or the add- and then treat that one first. treating both at once can get dicey
