Hi. I'm zach.

I was diagnosed 2 months ago with bipolar, but 14 years ago was diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 35 now.

I'm taking Lamotragine(50mg) for a couple weeks then 100mg. And 300mg wellbutrin.

I've been taking welbutrin all along for 14 years (thinking I just had ADHD) and it was enough to keep my head above water, but that's about it. Some weeks I would sleep 14 hours and feel tired (and get up right before work and just go to work, is all I could manage) and some days I can sleep 1 or 2 hours and feel great the next day (and like I'm on speed!). Some days I can just drink 1 cup of coffee and be wired as hell, others I have to drink a pot of coffee just to stay awake.

So, I guess I'm bipolar. I was in denial about it, not realizing that it was abnormal. I thought it was just ADHD, or "just me being me" as I've always been like that, even as a kid. My psychiatrist lady said she had 'always suspected' I was bipolar and finally gave me a test to prove it.

anyways, just saying 'HI'.
