Stimulant medications can increase anxiety and OCD, so that may be why your doctor doesn’t want to prescribe a stimulant. And some symptoms of OCD can look like ADHD.
Many ADHD experts find it best to get anxiety under control first, then treat the ADHD.
The bottom line though, is this: you need to be comfortable with your doctor and feel like they are valuing your input. So, it may very well be time for a 2nd opinion from a new doctor.
