I finally got in to see a real psych doc today for a real evaluation.
After going over my history, asking several questions/giving scores, etc. He felt that maybe I might be more ADHD than bipolar.
I told him I've been seeing my old psych nurse at another practice and I needed to see a doc for a real evaluation of what was going on. He feels that if there is any BP involved it is minor.
He suggested I consider a trial of Concerta and stay with the Klonopin. He even said I could stay with the Depakote unless the side effects were too bothersome.
Anyone ever try Concerta with Klonopin?
If I do try the ADHD med and it helps, it could explain a lot of issues I have had for the last 20 years.
