Hello there, I responded to your post with enthusism as I can relate to many of your comments. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer, but then who does? Our brains are so incredibly intricate and unique that the whole med business is a big crap shoot, in my humble opinion. Anyway, I am bipolar2 and I strongly suspect ADD. (What are your ADD symptons?) As the two often overlap, it's difficult to know. Your med cocktail sounds interesting, but what is MHX?? For me all the SSRI's spell APATHY, and that's that. I would love to try a pstim, but have had such godawful reactions (paranoia, anxiety and raciness to the max) to ritalin, phentermine (diet pill) and even cocaine, that I am afraid to try the others. Like you I take a teeny amount of an anti-p, only I take sulpride and as often as I have tried to drop it I realize I need it. I also take 100mg of lamictal and 200mg of serzone and 75mg of trazadone at night to sleep. Have you tried strattera? I haven't, many on this board have found good results for ADD. What about provigil, adderal et al? As for the lack of motivation thing, I'm with you. It's hell for me to get up in the am and to get started. I do accomplish quite a bit, in the long run, but never with the kind of zeal I'm longing for. Good luck with finding something that works! Lilla
