So have any of you felt you have gotten treated with something that helped both symptoms? What were you put on? I am curiouse becaus of coure there's not just me, but my son who could very well have the same thing. It was put in his last Dr transfer sheets to watch him for signs of it. So far no I don't see any depression. Just the self directed anger at his inablilities to do what you want him to do off meds and the frusteration anger that seems to build up and pop after the day doesn't go like you want.. That's what I am wondering if my anger's not coming from, but it doesn't explain the days I want to sleep all day and never get out of bed. I never hit high's where I am "doing" something all the time, but there's days where I feel unable to sleep. Those days I am too "tired" to do anything but read or watch t.v. or maybe play on the computer (no games that require thought)... It's not like I feel the need to go run miles or clean the whole house or anything that way. I get the urge to talk and talk and talk, but sometimes I think it's more out of nerves than anything else. Trying to find the right thing to say to make whom ever I am talking to "sway" to what I am thinking or saying at the time (if that makes sense..) ANY HOW. If anyone can say they are the same or have more ideas about the difference between ADD/Bipolar (notice that the "hypers" not in that ADHD, it's been CENTURIES since I felt hyper..)
