Suggest Medication For Anxiety From ADHD Issues

My doctor has been trying to treat my anxiety from ADHD issues with antidepressants, I have tried 3 different kinds, and each one has had the same effect on me, they make me cry for no reason at all and make me very very tired. I was wondering if my doctor is not taking the right route, or what I need to do in the long run, because I do not enjoy feeling this way.

You have been prescribed anti-depressants for anxiety and ADHD issues. You have crying spells all the time and you feel tired throughout the day. Most of anti-depressant act as anti-anxiety drugs also. The reason for crying, tiredness etc symptoms is depression itself. You are not able to enjoy things and this is also due to depression. Anti-depressants are best choice of treatment in such case.
