Karen, I take the TOVA on Monday (unmedicated) but he did a long interview today and says he's convinced enough to give it a trial over the weekend. Says even if I'm not officially ADD, if the Ritalin improves my concentration and helps me perform in this new job, he will likely keep me on it or another stimulant. Right now, just being able to *think* feels pretty good.
The Bipolar meds flopped with me. He finally agreed NO MORE "MOOD STABLIZERS"! They just
made my mood swings worse, never better, plus
I felt like a zombie all the time. Lethargy
and wild mood swings make for a really icky
feeling...
I like this much better, but more importantly,
I can function!!!
