Alameda -
I think the dx does serve a purpose but we should never live and die by them and a lot do. If you aren't ADD then you shouldn't be on adderal. That is where I think the dx gets mixed up - oh see she has this symptom so she must be x - well maybe not lets look at all the symptoms and kinda of watch for a while to see what goes on and then see the best avenue. I just think we are to quick to jump to a dx and that can be harmful. Dx are important to a certain degree, I just wish Dr. would be more careful. If you have a form of bipolar I could see how some of the symptoms may have looked liked add and the add medicine will not help bipolar, but a bipolar medicine would be beneficial.
I am so sorry that you are going through all of this. It sucks. Do your T and P Doc talk? I hope that this gets figured out soon for you. Please know that I am thinking of you.
