Hi BooHooHoo,

I am sorry you are having such a difficult time with this as well as your son.

I am being treated with Adderal, for the ADHD, which I had the same questions for my therapist as how I could be ADHD and not one bit hyper and having no energy to say the least. She said that it was my mind and insides that were hyper and that as an adult although not physically hyper, that I had the hyper mind thinking of one subject to the next and never staying on track.

The Bipolar I am taking Lithium, Effexor, and Risperdal. As you expressed I am having no 'highs' as far as doing cleaning of the whole house. I at times want to talk and talk sometimes for me it is more of being exited to have someone to talk to and I feel better for the time, then the depression returns and the excitement of the previous conversation is short lived and once again am back to feeling depressed or drained.

I often become angry, even though there is no reason, and I am by myself. Do hope to find help for this someday with hoping of the creations of new medications.

I hope you can get to feeling better and find the answers to help you and your son. Sorry I didn't have much to suggest only wanted to share some of my meds and experiences for the two.

Take care, Chris
