Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Celexa is antidepressant and consists of escitalopram. There are a lot of another antidepressant like paroxetine, fluoxetine, bupropion. You can use any of them after your psychiatrist consultation. There is no major interaction between adderral and antidepressant. That would help you to improve concentration. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
