How Can Anxiety And ADHD Be Treated?

Hello, my 16 years old daugther takes effexor 75 mg for anxiety and she also has an history of staying in bed all day long....almost lethargic, procrastinating with low motivation. Effexor is helping for anxiety, she is more sociable, but does nothing to help put her in action, she stays in bed almost all day long. She has a ADHD and I wonder which of Vyvanse 10mg or Wellbutrin would be better to add with her effexor dose?

It is not advised that you combine treatment as this may lead to drug interactions which may cause side effects.
If she has both conditions I would rather prefer Welbutrin as it has been shown to be effective in both conditions
