Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.
Because everyone has unique symptoms, treatment plans should be specific to individuals. SSRIs, used to treat depression and anxiety, can be used in combination with stimulant medication, if needed. Your doctor would be the best person to talk with about your need for these medications and what combination would be best to treat your symptoms.
There is some information on HealthCentral that may be of help to you:
