Id vote against talking about the clots. I mean, *do* get that treated, *do* let whatever doc handles that know about the adderall but...you don't want the shrink to wuss out on giving you something that helps b/c they're afraid of liability issues. Shrinks deal with mental stuff; real docs deal with the rest...thats my philosophy, at least.

In some moody people, stimulants can have mood elevating and stabilizing properties. Some docs occasionally use amphetamines for acute mania; its odd, but apparently it sometimes works. So the BP I thing shouldn't be a problem, unless a) you're (hypo)manic and/or prone to psychosis or b) your doc takes a strict line on rx'ing in bipolar disorder..in that case, you should probably get a new one anyway, since you'll need a doc who responds to you, not official APA guidelines and treatment algorithms.

Good luck.
