Thank you. Yes, I am now on Lamictal, they started me on 25mg, and then raised my dosage to 50 mg after 14 days. Now doctor asked if I wanted to raise it again to 75 mg. But.. she also gave me Gabapentin (I am waiting to start on it). I want to start the second one first, before adding.

I understand that this is an unconventional use of this medication for ADHD. It was originally prescribed as a mood stabilizer for Bipolar. The doctor said she wants to see if this helps with ADHD as well. When I started this medication, I started a blog, so I can track how I am feeling, to see if it's helping. Maybe it will help others as well.

I was coping with Bipolar mood swings, I am starting to try to figure out how to cope with ADHD. I had no idea I have it. The symptoms are overlapping and too similar. ADHD was a surprise, It just popped up.

I am so glad I have a doctor who spotted it and is giving me meds that work. I have tried meds before and nothing worked.

I don't want to take more medication than necessary. I also don't want my life to revolve around Bipolar or ADHD, I just have to live with it and work around it. I need to be functional, that will relieve my stress, and then I will be ok.

Having a job is nearly impossible with the way I am. I drive myself nuts.. LOL
