Is There A Medicine Which Could Treat ADD, OCD And Mild Anxiety?

Hi there. I am a 23 year old male prescribed 18mg of Concerta XR to treat my ADD, but am considering switching to another ADD medication. In addition to ADD, I suffer from OCD and mild anxiety. Is there an ADD medication that could treat all 3 of these conditions? Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
No there is no common medicine to all these three conditions. Bupropion is a drug which can take care of ADD and anxiety. However OCD is not effectively treated with Bupropion. You may have an add on sertraline or fluoxetine to take care of the OCD.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
