I have ADD and depending on the doc, mildly bipolar.
I am wondering if taking a stimulant (even in a low dose) for my ADD (Adderall XR) aggravates an underlying mood disorder?
Would a stimulant bring out bipolar?
Adderall XR in a tiny dose works great for my ADD, but it does cause some moodiness and irritability.
Is it just that I really am bipolar and have ADD?
I feel like this is the chicken and the egg thing.
I am now taking Lithium to keep my mood stable.
