I have often thought that I was ADD or ADHD. I even described to my doctor the reasons why I was questioning it. He put me on concerta and it would me up the first day and I never took it again. I was sure that since it did not slow me down maybe I wasnt ADD after all.

A few years later I am still a spazzz, my brain switches thoughts like a TV when somebody has sat on the remote. I never stop moving, and I have a hard time focusing, unless I am manic. Then I have laser focus. This effects my performance at work, and has had a hand in destroying my marriage.

To those of you who have BP and ADD/ADHD how did you sort out the symptoms? Did your Doc/Pdoc figure it out, or did you have to advocate for yourself?
