> ummm. what do you do if you suffer from ADD as well as bipolar?
Yes I know what you are saying, but just that the research seems so fuzzy with these to combined conditions. I have read in a few places both antipsychotics and mood stabalizer can complicate ADD symptoms. But nothing was really solid and conclusive.
My guess would just be to try the augmenting of both an atypical antipsychotic and and slow gradual upward dose of a pstimulant, but with a lot of caution. It's just for your sake, that is all I am saying this for. We all react so differently and I hesitate to make universal statements that a person must react a certain way to a medication. Slipping into mania has been living hell for me and I wouldn't wish it on any single living person or thing. Hope that does help.
