Haven't taken any of the anxiety mediation, but do have some experience of anxiety + ADHD.
I was taking Dextroamphetamine for ~4 years, great for ADHD symptoms, focus and energy is amazing, but terrible for libido and really raised my anxiety. I tried switching from Dex to Methylphenidate, but after one day I quit because of how it made me feel (paranoia++).
Fluctuated on-and-off the Dex for a while (i.e. taking it a few days a week), but the whip-saws in dopamine levels really hit me hard, anxiety++.
Recently switched over to Atomoxetine (brand name Strattera) which has an off-script application to treating ADHD. It has a much more subtle effect than Dex, and has to be taken daily it to be effective. After about ~30 days of Atomoxetine I feel MUCH better, anxiety and stress is only at background levels.
Atomoxetine is nowhere near Dex in terms of focus and energy, but it does certainly address many ADHD symptoms + doesn't create the residual anxiety (at least for me). Libido isn't 100% of unmedicated, but nowhere near as bad as amphetamines.
