So, I started Strattera for ADD and am on Prozac and Geoden for skin picking. I've never thought of myself as having bi-polar 2, just ADD but the symptoms are similar.
Now since I started the new meds I am having mania; sleeping only 5 hours a night and feel rested, racing thoughts, ideas, agitation and restlessness. Anyone else experience this while on their meds and how did you finally treat it..were you then diagnosed bi-polar?

Thanks
I was on Ritalin for years before my last Pdoc took me off it and said I didn't have ADHD, I had BPII....the ADD meds were basically making me constantly manic and after I found I could abuse them I was full blown manic when doing so....verses just hypomanic, which is more normal state.

Just saying, can totally happen.
