> While it sounds like you may be overly sensitive to psychotropic drug side effects, my opinion is that this is likely not due to childhood use of Ritalin. The neural pathways that Ritalin and Lexapro work on, for instance, have little or nothing to do with each other.
True. It does make me worry about how many types of neural paths may be messed up, given the variety of paths the meds I've had work on.

> What is your diagnosis? I'm wondering if you are psychotic or BP, and how much therapy you've had.Truly I don't know. My pdoc is treating my issues as a depressive disorder but he won't elaborate. I seem to fit BP in a lot of ways. my mood cycle every few hours. I'm in a dysphoric state 80% of the time. I also have psychotic symptoms. I get hallucenations, mild ones and I get persecutory delusions. Despite this, my contact with reality is still fairly solid.
