Hi Jon. You and I are going through the exact same thing. I was recently diagnosed as having ADD in addition to Bipolar II. It is really hard to tell which is which as they have alot of the same symptoms. I also become agitated with most of the anti-depressants. I am beginning to try stimulants in addition to my Lamictal, Remeron, Risperdal and Zoloft. Tried Adderal a week ago. It didn't go well, really sent me into a depression for the past week. My next med trial is Ritalin. It's hard to treat both, as the stimulants can really make you manic. Boy! This is a toughie! And I am sure it is going to be hard to treat in my case. Hope yours goes a bit smoother!
