So... ADHD (inattentive) is starting to become a factor in my diagnosis. I’ve been on a lot of different mood stabilizers and most have essentially been placebos. I’m only on Wellbutrin right now and that by far has had the biggest impact on many aspects of myself. It has taken my creativity, obsessiveness, impulsivity, and tendency to hyperfocus. I’m very blah and flat. Boring. Reflecting on my past.... how often have I been actually manic versus simply hyper focused on whatever flavor of obsession was currently on my plate? Depression has been the other issue and that is why my pdoc has me on Wellbutrin... works for ADHD and depression (with Latuda hanging out in my cabinet if I do happen to go manic again... which is very hard to buy right now).

Does anybody else here have a dual diagnosis of both ADHD and bipolar? How have ADHD meds affected your life???

I’m about done with meds... I just want my old self back. I think my awareness can handle the negative aspects ... whether it’s mania or ADHD hyperfocus.
