I've been hypomanic frequently -- or is it ADD?

Posted by bookgurl99 on July 1, 2003, at 20:42:49

Hey y'all,
I've been 'hypomanic' a lot lately (last 2 months), since ceasing to take Zoloft. When I think back, I believe I was this way when I was younger, before taking meds.
Do I need to worry about this? I am not incredibly manic, just very talkative, probably more positive than usual, and somewhat insomniac -- though insomnia is often a problem for me, hypomania or no hypomania. Also, I do not become manic on SSRI's.
On the other hand, several professionals -- psychiatrist, therapist, etc., -- have mentioned that I seem to have symptoms of ADD.
How can I tell if I have ADD versus having Bipolar 2? Or versus being a garrulous Puerto Rican woman?
I am trying to be responsible with my brain here. Any thoughts?
