I've done good in the past with Ritalin and others. Concerta sucked. I'm wary of Adderall. I burned some friendships on it but my doc left me at 60 mg while discontinuing Lithium. I really don't know what happened but I got really angry. All email, mostly viscous. But I also thought that I was being cornered by two people telling me stuff they shouldn't have. If you're cornered, you fight. I dunno.
I've thought about asking my doc for Ritalin. Scott, is it a more mellow ride than Adderall. I'm not sure that mellow if the right word. I don't remember flipping out on it.
While I've got you I have another question or story. 1. Misdiagnosed with unipolar dep. for 20 years. But on antidepressants the whole time. 2. Messy nervous breakdown at work in '04. 3. Psychiatrist sent me home and said rest, get 15 minutes of sun a day. I laughed, never got that much sun. Two days later a 30 day hypomania kicked in. Worked in the sun 12 hours a day. Endless ideas - boundless energy. Did the breakdown trigger this or had I not 'noticed' smaller episodes in the past? My current doctor felt that I was manic on my first med, amitriptyline. After he said that I thought, of course, I remember.
