Hi Spriggy,
It is hard to tease out symptoms of Bipolar and ADHD. There is overlap in the symptoms. There are tests that psychologists can use to rule ADHD in or out, but it's a bit expensive. I wouldn't recommend it without good insurance coverage. And if you did decide to be tested, you want to make sure it's by someone with experience in testing ADHD for adults.

And I know the worry about taking ADHD meds when it might make you overstimulated. Best to start low and go slow if you might also have Bipolar.

Good luck,

gg
