I can't explain how they work but I know how I have reacted to both. My main AD is Nortriptyline with Zyprexa as an augment. I was doing OK on this combo but was still very apathetic. My pdoc had never tried Wellbutrin with me because I do have a history of GAD and Panic. I finally asked that we try Adderal to get me out of the apathy and he gave me both Wellbutrin and Adderal. It has made a big difference in my moods. I take low doses of each and don't have an anxiety problem but do have the energy to go to the gym and become a little more active.
I guess I'm saying that the right AD and stimulant combo can eliminate the anxiety factor in the stimulants. So far it has worked for me but like I said I'm on low doses.
