Okay-so before I wasn’t stable and didn’t realize how manic I was. Since then, I have found the perfect medicine regimen for my bipolar disorder. I am more stable than ever and never felt so clear minded and yet I still struggle with adhd. I lost yet another job and I just got it due to forgetting to hat I’m talking about mid sentence in meetings, looking like a airhead, and not completing tasks on time because well just being disorganized and stopping and starting different tasks etc.
So I go back to my adhd doctor tomorrow. This doctor will write basically whatever I ask just not the dosage or frequency. The type of med only.
I have tried the non-stimulant meds with no success due to either side effects or ineffectiveness.
A big benefit of lithium is it’s shown to greatly reduce euphoria from stimulants. I have seen people prescribed lithium and amps many times yet interactions show that there is a risk of SS. I am guessing that’s only in recreational doses?
I am trying to decide if I want a methylphenidate based drug or an amphetamine based drug not for recreational use but only therapeutic doses.
I am giving them to my wife for a safer measure but don’t till abuse them because I’m stable now. Still want to play it safe.
What is your experience with these meds? If you were in my shoes which would you prefer for therapeutic purposes?
I am going to give the meds one more shot while stable and medicated.
