I was diagnosed with ADD-Inattentive at 16 and have recently been diagnosed with BP Type 2. I am on mood stabilizers and anti-anxiety meds, but I still feel extremely distracted all the time. I wonder if I still need a stimulant or something like that. I can not concentrate at work, but moods are ten times better. I know I should talk to my doctor, but I just want to know if anyone has the same problem or experience with this. Thanks.
Answer:
Hi:
I have Bipolar 1 Severe, ADHD and other mental illnesses.
I also am on mood stabilizers and a few others. I also take Adderal for my ADHD. I have taken it for years. I have had no complications or side effects from the Adderal in conjunction with other psych meds.
It sounds as if you may need a stimulant to control your ADD. Please call your doc and schedule an appointment to speak to them about this situation. It can only benefit you by talking to them, you have nothing to loose.
Be safe and be well
