I was originally in bupropion for my anxiety and it does help. I also take concerta after being diagnosed with ADHD, but bupropion absolutely helps with anxiety.

Are you sure it’s not helping your ADHD? The emotional regulation improvements could very well be ADHD improvements. Have you gone through the titration process?
If you make it clear how effective the Strattera is for you, and that you're concerned a replacement won't be as effective or will come with side effects you don't currently experience with Strattera, they should keep you on it. It's hard finding medication that works for you, and managing anxiety is a key part of managing your ADHD symptoms as it's one less distraction to contend with. Fingers crossed for you, good luck!
