> Firstly do these stimulant meds help your disease? if not drop em', if yes and you have a high tolerance/metabolism then don't waste your life away-like mine has been,and i'm only 34. Get a satisfactory dosage of the correct medicine (fight for a Doc who will help you and treat you with whatever you need)

Now he's looking into treating me with a non-stimulant for the ADD but were trying to get the rapid cycling and bipolar 2 under control first. thanks for you concern and kind words.
