Again, I think the OCD is 'clouding' your thinking. I know I can't concentrate under a barrage of intrusive and recurrent thoughts and endless rumination.
Trying to treat your ADHD with rampant OCD is going to be difficult simply because one cannot weed out which of the two is causing concentration problems. You need to get the OCD under control then assess the remainder of your attention problems.
Hopefully the parnate will help with the OCD and be more effective then tthe SSRIs you have been treated with. Just keep in mind MAOIs are not well studied in the treatment of OCD.
Concentrate on getting your OCD under control, then tackle the attention difficulties.
