Hi Karen,
I've come down with a cold/flu this morning, and my stomach is definately down. I am hoping that is what it was. Thanks for the salt/water theory because I have been drinking alot of water.
If the past 7 days are an indication of my future, my future should be depression-free, manic-free. (and hopefully weight-gain free)
After an initial period of instabllity after increasing the lithium, I've been doing great just on the lithium. I hope I am not speaking too soon.
I just put it together a few days ago Karen that you were the lady from the Phillipines, who kindly posted me about successfully self-medicating there. I wonder if the medications you used there would be ones for ADD also. If I remember correctly, you weren't on a mood stabilizer--I remember thinking that that was odd for a bipolar person.
How are the stimulants working for you?
How did you discover it was ADD and not bipolar? Are you planning to add an anti-depressant?These 2 disorders can look so much alike.
