I take Cymbalta which is a type of SNRI, I actually feel that it improved my ADHD a little. For my ADHD I take Ritalin but only on occasions when I need to focus for a long period of time, so my doctor told me that there shouldn't be a problem.

I might not be able to take that one since Lexipro is an SNRI and I think they conflict. Maybe they'll put me on something that will treat both my PDD and ADHD ๐Ÿค”
