So how do they diagnose ADD in someone who has BP? Don't they look a lot alike? The fact that I'm a girl makes it less of an obvious choice I guess, but I've taken several online tests/questionaires and it's usually pretty suggestive of ADD. My brother was also dxd ADD, but does fine with no stimulants. It's just hard to accept the BPII dx since I don't fit the criteria well. I guess I'm atypical. I want to find the best possible meds, ya know? After trying so many SSRI's (no MAOI's, or anything) and them being kind of a disaster, I don't want to go through that again.
