Thank you bleauberry, I have found your posts to be pretty wise & knowledgable.
A couple of years ago I tried Adderall- the intial response was great. I felt like doing things and had a positive outlook. But I then I started to cycle with it. Then I added Abilify. I don't know if it was one or the other or both, but I ended up in the hospital. I am afraid of Abilify, also because when I tried Geodon, I ended up having ect on my birthday to get out my med-induced deep misery.
But with that said, now that I am on a stabilizer, I would be interested on giving Adderall or something similar another try. On the one had I worry that a stimulating drug might worsen my anxiety, but if I could sustain the type of feeling/outlook I had initially w/ Adderall, I think it would "trump" it.
