Psychiatrist: If you are concerned about several different issues, it is a good idea to speak with a psychiatrist about your medications. Stimulant meds are most often used for adhd (concerta) and ssris (for example - zoloft) are most commonly used for depression and anxiety.

Several: It depends on the age of the patient. I'm assuming that you are over 18 here. Zoloft, paxil, (paroxetine) and Lexapro work well for anxiety. Ritalin (all forms), adderall, dexedrine, and vyvance work well for attention disorders. The trick is to discover which medicines "match" your system and manage your diagnoses - sometimes, this involves some trial and error with meds and dosages.
