Looking for advice on ADHD medication while on antidepressants

Hey! I was diagnosed earlier this year (my diagnosis process began really late last year) and I haven't been put on meds yet. For all of you who have ADHD (Inattentive) who have have taken antidepressants (I'm on Lexipro) what ADHD medication has worked for you? 🤔

I'm on Strattera which works pretty well but it's expensive

I might not be able to take that one since Lexipro is an SNRI and I think they conflict. Maybe they'll put me on something that will treat both my PDD and ADHD 🤔

I take Cymbalta which is a type of SNRI, I actually feel that it improved my ADHD a little. For my ADHD I take Ritalin but only on occasions when I need to focus for a long period of time, so my doctor told me that there shouldn't be a problem.
