Interesting thread. My diagnosis was 'Bipolar Atypical'.. but before that I thought I was more Bipolar II (and before that it was ADHD) since I've never really been text book full-blown manic. Maybe my clinic doesn't recognize Bipolar II.. I don't know. Anyway... I was on adderall before my diagnosis for ADHD and that wasn't good. But I'm in the same boat.. depression is the worst aspect for me. I tried Zoloft and that was a disaster because I was on it when I had a bad mixed episode (and hospital). So I'm also looking for an anti-depressant that works. The depression has such huge impact on my life compared to the hypo?mania. I'm hoping they will let me try Wellbutrin next.

Other than depression.. the attention/focus thing is still a big factor for me. Right now I'm hoping that tackling the bipolar will help with that. Stimulants certainly will not do it. I tend to focus on the wrong things with those.
