Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.

I have some heart issues, so my doctor put me on bupropion to see if it would touch my ADHD symptoms. I don't think that it has, but it has helped a bit with my depression.

I wish there was a stimulant out there that didn't risk making my heart issues worse. I think getting my ADHD under control would also go a long way towards helping with my depression and anxiety. Unfortunately we've mostly been addressing the symptoms of the depression and anxiety and not the ADHD.

A friend of mine has the same issue and they just got put on a beta blocker along side the stimulant. According to my psychiatrist, that is fairly common.

But also yeah, controlling my adhd almost completely removed my depression and anxiety symptoms. Doctors tried to treat just my depression/anxiety for over a decade with only marginal results. I had the same experience with the bupropion, it helped with the depression but it didn't do much for the actual executive function.
