Yeah, it appears we are fairly different.
Ritalin alone can make me irritable, but usually only in the highest doses. Lower doses actually help my irritability.
My mother is bipolar (classic) and I may have some bipoliarity. I don't usually get irritable, but I do have periods of euphoria, followed by depression.
My euphoria is not crazy uncontrollable though. I just feel very happy and high on life. It generally doesn't affect my judgement. I don't have wild spending sprees or promiscuity.
The main supplements that seem to be helping me now are folic acid and omega-3.
I also take GLA for its purpored ability to help remylination. Its kind of a theoretical supplement as I have no proof that my myelin is damaged.
I took paxil and for me it acutually caused rapid cycling too! I remember it made my thinking very off - almost psychotic. I think its the anticholinergic effect. Citalopram/escitalopram for me were better in that it didn't have that wacky scarry psychotic like feeling to it.
