I've been diagnosed as ADHD/Bipolar but the new pdoc dropped the ADHD diagnosis which I totally agree with. My symptoms were that of bipolar not ADHD.

In saying that I am on dexamphetamine and it has helped tremendously with depression. Without it I am slowed down and tired and unable to focus (all symptoms of depression). I got clearance to go on it because of "treatment resistant depression".

I stupidly took myself off it over the summer, cos I was drinking and smoking a lot and I knew they didnt mix. I chose self medicating instead of prescribed medication and now I've been inpatient 5 weeks.
