Did you have any good results from adderall XR? I take that one and it helps. Something to keep in mind, if u do end up with bp dx in addition to ADHD, doc may say no more stimulants. I pushed for it and got them back sooner, but pdoc initially threatened she needed to see me go 1-2 yrs without hypo/mania. I'm sure I cried and felt unsupported, how was I going to be able to focus and keep working? But I proved myself within a few months, she added lithium to the mix. I don't like psych meds either. But took lithium for about 10 months, pulled me well out of bp depression, but the weight gain became too much, so I stopped taking it in November and just riding the waves.
