> > What if the ADD is comorbid with bipolar disorder or major depression?

> My pdoc for a while had a theory that I might have mild bipolar spectrum something or other, and thus the Lamictal, which just made me feel weird and angry.

If impulse control or aggression/hostility is a problem in the absence of Lamictal, I would look into taking Trileptal.

> Are you suggesting the despiramine exacerbated possible bipolar?

No. I think desipramine is definitely contributing to producing the improvement in you ADD. It doesn't always produce a switch into mania. I would consider adding Wellbutrin. It might act synergistically with the desipramine to further improve the ADD.

What drugs made you feel worse?

How do you react to SSRIs and Effexor?

Provigil?
