Before I ever took AD's I occasionally had periods of high energy, irritability, and agitation. I called it anxiety. In comparing it to the hypomania I experienced on AD's, it felt different. Hypomania felt mostly great...I had greater self-esteem, confidence, became sociable (normally introverted). So my gut tells me I only became bipolar from the AD's. I don't believe its a legitimate diagnosis if meds cause it.
