It does sound odd, on the surface, why treat with an anti depressant without depression.

I looked this up, seems like an explanation..

(Quote from article)If people can’t tolerate stimulants, psychiatrists may prescribe a non-stimulant along with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), which has anxiety-reducing effects. (Tuckman noted that non-stimulants may be less effective than stimulants.)(end quote)

Hope that helps. Welcome to PC
