Hi all- about 18 months ago I was diagnosed (in Switzerland) with ADHD and co-morbid depression.

I now live back in the US and my current therapist thinks that I may be bipolar and that the Swiss diagnosis was incorrect.
She said that my previous care was 'entirely inadequate' and I believe her.
I trust this person but I am finding it difficult to cope with this sudden change.

I am on effexor and concerta and really worried about coming off effexor with its discontinuation symptoms.
I'm so exhausted with the ups and downs of all of this- AHDH I can manage- but bipolar sounds so much more serious- I just can't beleive this is my life.

I've been reading lots of documentation on bipolar- I just don't want it to be the case- words now fail me.
