I agree that pyschiatry is more of a guessing game then an exact science. The last time I went to my pdoc after another cycle ( stimulant med, great for 6 months, depression ( ad med) poop-out) then in the office crying. He basically put his hands up and said "I don't understand you" gave me some provigil samples and told me to get a secound opinion) I have two cousins with bi-polor disorder, but I don't get manic. I think there is a disorder out there to describe those of us that cycle that way but don't get manic. Also be careful of those bi-polor meds they can make you gain weight
