Wow, really? My FSIQ is 145 and I never found it to be fully accessible UNTIL I was put on Adderall. Thank god my shrink sees things differently from yours. Besides, there are medications for ADD and ADHD that are not stimulant-based; why won't he try you on one of these?
I'm sorry you're having problems with your shrinky-poo. He sounds scared of stimulants for bipolars - I think you'd be wise to take that fine IQ of yours and make a change.
