Well, no one thinks I have BP right now. I do have ADD-l (inattentive), and dexedrine settled my mind as it usually does for add-types. I also had and have severe fatigue. So it was dual purpose.
I've never said I've had 'racing' thoughts, but have experienced times when my mind would not stop, even good thoughts. It's a long story, but I'm
contemplating whether ssri's/snri's have contributed to that and mood instability in general. A hallmark, I know, of a BP disorder--I used to be considered BPnos.So, I'm not sure my experience is helpful, but for what it's worth and since you
asked.Are you familiar with the theory or theories that ADHD and BP may share a genetic factor?
It's Saturday, and lots of folks might be out right now. Someone with more experience should be by soon. Are you o.k.?
Maybe a list of your current meds would help folks respond.
