Sar -
Before you read more of this thread, and perhaps learn things about ADD and its subtypes which could bias your answers, or at best make them seem less valid to your pdoc, I suggest that you try the online ADD subtypes test at
http://www.amenclinic.com/ac/addtests/subtype.asp
Print out your answers and show them to your pdoc the next time you see him/her.
Differential diagnosis between ADD and bipolar can be difficult (especially here in the UK where almost no-one believes that there's such a thing as adult ADD!); *if* your problem is a certain subtype of ADD (which doesn't look impossible to me), then mood stabilizers like Depakote or Neurontin may not be the best meds for you.
I hope you find this helpful :)
