> Im no doctor or psychologist, but that totally sounds like mania to me. What about trying Depakote/Depakene if you got hyper even on Litium? This schouldnt have any antidepressive affect at all. And dont try it alone. Also take an AD at that time. Maybe everything works out fine then.
> And something about your ADHD. *I* really doubt you have that. I mean feeling like an old whise man and getting hyper while being on an SSRI is somewhat an argument against ADHD. These people get worse on an SSRI, most of the time. And the snobby behavior is also a manic symptom in my opinion.

A thing I forgot to say. On the other hand, getting hyper on Lithium might be an argument against mania. But if you can concentrate better on an SSRI or Anafranil, I really think you dont have ADHD.
