Not necessarily. There is some genetic link between OCD and ADHD. In recent genetic studies it was shown that there was some overlap in the genes for the two. I know that stimulants have sometimes been used successfully as adjuncts to SSRIs for OCD.

Of course could, but you'd have to try and see. I think the amphetamines would be (possibly) less likely to induce OCD as they have serotonergic mechanisms as well.
