I have the same diagnoses. I was first diagnosed with severe OCD with resulting depression. That's the primary reason I went to a professional in the first place- I was basically unable to function in daily life. I was treated for the OCD and the depression, including a 7 week residential treatment program. Those problems were very much alleviated. However, I was still feeling distracted and it was compromising my school work. I ended up going to a specialist and was diagnosed with ADHD.

Personally, I feel that when I am on my ADHD medication, it lessens my anxiety and any OCD symptoms and urges as well. I feel more in control when I'm on it. So yes- I definitely think that undiagnosed and untreated ADHD symptoms may have exacerbated the OCD. I personally feel that the two diagnoses often go hand in hand.

I have never been on Wellbutrin but my pdoc suggested it among the other meds. I spent about a year on Strattera but was on the maximum dose and still felt that it was not helping enough. I know another non-stimulant that can be used is Provigil.

My advice would be to stay clear of the stimulant medications if you can help it. Your pdoc probably already explained to you that stimulants can exacerbate OCD and anxiety. I tried Concerta and Methalyn and both made me jittery and irritable and anxious. I've been on Focalin XR for the past two years and it's really been the wonder drug. More effective than Strattera but doesn't give the bad side effects as the other stimulants that I've tried.

Anyway, hope you find something that works for you

P.S. I'm not sure what you mean by your last question. If you mean staying organized- I would set an alert on your phone on something so that you remember to take your medication. I had issues with that but your ADD symptoms may not be as severe. Use a planner. Make sure you are honest with your doctor about the effects of the Wellbutrin. Sometimes it takes a few tries to find a med that really works. Educate yourself about your diagnosis. Most importantly, remember that you are not your diagnosis. That separation is really crucial if you ever start feeling overwhelmed by it all.
