Hi all
still looking around for answer to same problem that I've posted about before, in brief I have what look like bipolar II, or cyclothymia with lots of anxiety. Tried a very small amount of dexamphetamine after one doc thought I was ADD. BIG overreaction to dex, head filled couldn't think over-stiumlated, felt very blank and anxious. Anyway this has kept happening everyday now for almost a year. It has got a bit less over this time. Since then I have tried Zyprexa, Epilim, beta-blockers (which had some positive effect) and now am trying Lithium. An EEG suggested that I had some abnormality but wasn't conclusive. When it comes on I feel overstiumlated, blank and cut off from the world in a sensory sense, I am "not present" and don't take anything in. It is very frightening.
I would be very grateful if anyone knows of any sites that deal with atypical reactions to dex (stimulants) and maybe stuff about kindling, or seizues, or whatever it is that I have. No doc so far has any idea and it is very distressing.
In hope
