Hi guys, hope all is well.
Does anyone here have ADD/ADHD along with bipolar? How are you being treated for it ? Does it interfere with your ability to function? Like lack of motivation and laziness?
My pdoc doesnt dx or treat it and I dont know where to go. I was dx as a kid and I think a lot of my problems right now are stemming from untreated ADD. What are you guys' experiences with it? Thanks in advance. Much love, Alicia

I take wellbutrin for my ADD, so it is under control, and doesn't effect me anymore. I use to not be able to focus for more than a few minutes at a time.

My therapist thinks I have ADD but not so much my pdoc. My symptoms do interfere with my functioning as I can't focus enough to do well at a job and its pretty much why I flunked out of college.

I've got both bipolar and ADHD. I take Vyvanse for the ADHD. It goes a long way in helping me focus, and also helps with the lethargy and mental fog caused by the other meds.
