After doing some intense work with my T over the past couple of weeks (I was at her office for 5 hours last night -- that's gotta be some kind of record!), we've decided that my dx should be Bipolar II instead of treatment-resistant MDD-recurrent. Okay, so this makes a lot of sense. But I'm wondering where my ADHD fits into this picture... Is it possible to have both? Or does my ADHD really just amount to undiagnosed hypomanic symptoms?

I must admit, I'm frightened that they will take my Adderall away once I get into treatment for the bipolar. Admittedly, I'm completely reliant on it for my ability to function day to day. Most of the time it seems like it does wonders for my ability to self-motivate & focus. But there are days when I take it, and it doesn't seem to do anything at all. Ok, so now I'm just ranting. But if anybody has stories/advice/opinions, etc to share, I'd be much obliged!
