> Only on the Risperdal/Neurontin/Adderall combo. Seroquel was just too sedative, period. The Risperdal I could take the night before at bedtime (1/2mg), and I would just be a *little* foggy-headed when I woke up, but would feel fairly clear after my Adderall dosage the next day.
Hmmmm... so you had movement disorders on both risperdal and seroquel, that's too bad. Did you give them time to remitt? I found it took about 3 weeks for dystonia to disappear on zyprexa.
Was risperdal much worse than seroquel?
> I'm really beginning to believe that my "ADD" symptoms really are the primary symptoms of bipolar depression. Perhaps a "limbic ADD" ofYes and no. bipolar depression = atypical depression = mood reactivity. But in my case I get dramatic mood swings depending on how stimulated I am.
However! Even when i am hypomanic I still have some problems with ADD, for sure.
>sorts. IOW, the stims are creating a dramatic positive improvement in my concentration probs., because they are creating a dramatic improvement in my bipolar depressive symptoms-of which poor concentration and mental slowing are the primary symptoms. I'm not taking any stims or ADD meds, now and I'm not having much trouble at all-I'm also not in the seasonal depressive phase of my cycling either.
So now you don't have problems with neither depression nor ADD? Your ADD disappeared on it's own? I am jealous dude :)
> I think it is interesting they are studying Provigil for use in bipolar depression. From, what I understand it has little effect on NE, but DA instead. For me wakefulness=concentration.Hmmm... maybe your problem is a sleep disorder?
For me wakefulness=the quest for stimulation
