Hi Tom,
Thank you for the compliment of my post and thanks once again for being able to respond!
>(PS) Sorry if this post is a bit ropey
Not at all, is was brilliant, very informative indeed. :-)
I'm actually considering trying a stimulant myself. I feel fine on the medications i'm currently taking with regards to anxiety and highs and lows ~ its just motivation and what could possibly be decribed as mild ADD symptoms or more so my thinking is that possibly my lack of motivation and the symptoms with it may respond well to a stimulant. Possibly, but I don't know for sure, everything else is okay but I cannot maintain interest in anything long enough lol It is mild though and I think the stimulant if it worked, would be off setting lack of motivation from the side effects of me currently taking 2 anticonvulsants, drowsyness causing lack of motivation etc..
I have bipolar mainly inherited from my mother, but to complicate things even more my older brother was diagnosed with ADD as a child back in the 80's. I believe my brother got the ADD from my dad ~ where I seem to have got bipolar from my mum. What a mix LOL
I think if i looked at the bipolar and ADD elements separately, I tend to follow suit more with bipolar, but the ADD element could still be in there somewhere...
What was it you didn't like with Provigil?...and in your opinion with the stimulants on the market today what do you think is the safest, most effective and considered first-line?
Many thanks Tom and I hope you're well.
Kind regardsNick
