May I ask a question?

If you were diagnosed bipolar this past November - why are they prescribing meds for ADHD? That doesn't make sense to me. My son was diagnosed ADHD when he was very young. The meds helped some - but the alcohol and drug addictions that came later should have been a signal to his doctors that something wasn't right.

He now has the correct diagnoses of bipolar - and the meds he takes are completely different than those for ADHD. He no longer self-medicates with alcohol or drugs because he is on the right meds for his diagnoses.
