but who knows! maybe he calls ADD "bipolar type 18" and treats it the same way .. hah
either that or there are a whole bunch of people whose lives are ruined needlessly ...
>very common -- just today, in fact, my psychiatrist told me that there are an estimated 8 million ADD adults in the States, though only about 15% of them ever receive treatment. And no such thing as ADD+bipolar? Come on now...
what is that as a per cent, 8 million?
> I have to agree with Sebastion -- what about a psychostimulant? I believe the only ones available in Canada are Dexedrine, Cylert, Alertec, various forms of methylphenidate, and Edronax, though surely one could help you.yep i am taking a stimulant and it helps a LOT bro... but i'm still having some problems
it seems likely that abilify will either work by itself or in combination with zyprexa no?? ... if all it does is keep me awake more that would be good
(is the insomnia waking up early or not being able to get to sleep?)
