In reply to bipolar treatment for ADHD, wierd...., posted by rjlockhart37 on March 4, 2014, at 23:56:45
I have schizoaffective disorder but was misdiagnosed for a long time as ADD. I was prescribed stimulants for long time before they eventually made me psychotic.
Anyway, I think a moderate dose of Vyvanse or Concerta would benefit you. You will probably have to first find a job or obtain SSI disability, live independently from your parents, and change pdocs. If you just have ADHD you're unlikely to get approved for disability benefits. What has your pdoc diagnosed you with? Are you actively seeking employment? What do you think is preventing you from moving forward with your life? The answers to these questions are critical.
I believe a good therapist or life coach would be invaluable.
Just my two cents.
Take care. :-)
