Hey S yes I was thinking ADHD too... There are non stimulant meds these days. I heard of a supposedly amazing one called Ovugil I think. I know 2 dr's who take it. But it sounds very very expensive. Might be worth looking into. Maybe only needed on certain days. I might try it soon. Amazing what a difference adderall made for me - kept me employeed and running the business. I didn't need it every day. But I'm so day dreamy & easily distracted, ADHD no doubt. And the med suddenly made me able to organize all the intelligence in my brain. It's like we hold so much info without enough file cabinets. So frustrating! I'm not pro-med, but something that organizes my mind is amazing. I thrive on functioning and using my brain. When the bpII dx came along, she tortuously made me prove myself not to go manic before considering allowing me an ADHD med again. Ughh it was so obvious that the AD's were the problem throwing me into hypo/mania, plus the natural cycles of bp. Hang in there, might be an answer. Also - what about a tutor to help you out & help focusing. I think a personal assistant would help me so much, just need to make a bit more money.
