I do. Well, I guess the pdoc sometimes calls it ADHD and sometimes ADD. I never had that before or I wouldn't have done so well in school and been a model student (wanted to please the teachers, so my conduct was excellent).

Even before being on Wellbutrin, my attention deteriorated so badly, I could not read (my favorite hobby) or even concentrate to watch a TV show. I don't know if I really have ADHD or if it's medication induced. I do know once I got on Adderall, OMG I could read & watch TV again.

I have only been on Adderall a few months. Maybe I started around June? My new pdoc started me on it, and I only started seeing him at the end of March (old pdoc is retiring).

Well, I'm mixed and have been mixed ages, but the new pdoc put me down as BPI mixed at the end of March on the intake form and again a week or so ago on the disability form. Maybe mixed it my default setting, either mixed or depressed, I think.

People have suggested the Adderall and/or the Wellbutrin could cause the mixed, but I was mixed before I starting taking either of them. Whether they are prolonging the mixed episode, I do not know.

Being mixed sucks so much.
