Hi,

I will put an introductory post up later, but for now, I have been diagnosed BP 2 and I'm pretty sure I have ADD also. I have been self-medicating with caffeine for a really long time to just barely get by.

For treatment of BP, I tried all sorts of different meds but they all became intolerable eventually. It turned out I was without a family doctor for a long time and decided to get off pills altogether. I found that now that I understood my symptoms better, I was better off with no meds and just handling it as I went.

Having said that, everyone is different, certainly, the severity of symptoms can vary wildly. Also, when it comes to meds, everyone reacts differently to each different one so your mileage may vary.

And no offense to fingers1 but the post sounds like an ad. Do your own research and consult with a physician before trying that, in my opinion.

Edit: either way, best of luck to both of you.
