Daytrana: It is a matter of trial and error to see if Daytrana will improve your son's ocd.

Possibly: Stimulant medications whether methylphenidate (daytrana, Ritalin, concerta) or amphetamines (Adderall, Vyvanse) can make anxiety worse. For some people, symptoms of ADHD are actually caused by anxiety.. Speak to your son's doctor about medications like Wellbutrin (bupropion) or Amantadine.
