I Have Been Prescribed Stimulant Based Medications To Treat My

I have been prescribed stimulant based medications to treat my add for about a year now with much success in treating my symptoms. however, I can no longer take them due to the sudden development of bloating, Edema, severe hypertension, tachycardia, anxiety, and depression.

When untreated the part of my add that negatively impacts me the most is difficulties with speech, severe irritability, uncontrollable impulsivity, and the lack of motivation/energy

Im considering asking my doctor to prescribe me Wellbutrin (antidepressant) and straterra (non-stimulant Add med).

Can these two medications be taken together or is the risk of serotonin toxicity/serotonin syndrome to great?

what non-stimulant medications would you recommend to treat all listed symptoms?
