thank you... I woke up this am feeling pretty good. The first pdoc I saw who insisted I was ADD would not address the depression, and the focalin he had me on , he just kept increasing, my last script the pharmacy could not fill because it was above the recommended daily dose. If I can google and find outbipolar has many of the same symtoms he should have known it .....I kept telling him I was overwhelmed with emptness and he would say...you are clearly ADD...Anyway, the mania caused by the focalin was intense, talking, mind racing, clenching my teeth so tight I was gatting headaches, at the same time I was so sad and empty I did not want to move...very unpleasant.... at least the new doc is listening to me, he gave me options of treatment and asked where I was comfortable starting. thank you for the support here.
