Sorry your reactions to Adderall are unpleasant...I can commiserate! I go nuts (first feel high/euphoric, then irritable, then impatient w/ every little thing, then down right nasty mean...not a pretty picture) on as little as 2.5 mg of the stuff and then CRASH as you described.
Anyhow, for what it is worth...as someone who does equine therapy using a type of bio-feedback modality...if the device that is being used involves any type of electric current going into your body, that electric current will travel along your neural pathways back to the brain which trigger a neuro-chemical response. Frankly, everything we do in life causes a neuro-chemical reaction. It has to do with perception; both conscious and unconscious. That is how a person or any living being survives. Being that the bipolar brain has a screwy fight/flight response system has a lot to do with (IMO) the varied and inconsistent responses to medication. If perception is constantly changing so are the chemicals in the brain especially in one that is on constant defense.
Not sure that this blurb answers anything for you or even has much relevance to the topic, but a little food for thought that may clue you in to other life changes that might also be key in figuring out a cocktail that works. Hope things work out for you very soon.
