I found that comment quite informative. I was tried on Adderall (just 5mg/day) a couple of years ago (with 300mg/Neurontin/day, that's it) and I got markedly QUIETER (and NO cycling). I had a lot of comments from coworkers about how "quiet" I was-"are you OK?". My pdoc switched my dx from BPII to adult ADHD (at that time). Do you think that Adult ADHD is a more accurate dx for me despite my edginess with the Adderall?
