I am so unfocused and depressed, first reasons is medication. I dont know if im on the right meds.
I constantly forget things, im lethargic in thinking, i am so mad because of situtions where i get screwed in life.
I am miserable person at times, as a said before that people are on better medications than.
Most of the medication are i am are sedating Exept Prozac.
Xanax
Zyprexa
Temazepam (but thats only night)My doctor and mother seem to agree that i am not to go on a stimulant. If i make an appointment she will cancel it. I am treated like a 13 year old.
Anyways im not going to ramp on about poor me with out a psychostimulant. I'll just go full manic epidoes to get things done, which Prozac does make me manic at times in the day. Driving around, talking to random people, feeling a feeling self worthness, But when i am manic i do really crazy things but it feels good,
i mean i was manic about a work investigation i started about one person, and the whole management team was invesegated.
Having Bipoler and ADHD sucks. You cant feel focused then at the same time you have endless energy spirling everywhere in chaos.
Really i have had thoughts of just making it all end, but i know from bibical terms that you will have punishment from doing this. (going to hell)
So thats out.
I do hate i percieve reality.
but you know im really a peppy person but in side im not happy at all. If you would ever meet me you would disagree with everything im saying because i dont act like it. But just fake it intil you make it.
Life is grand..........but i hate the way i percieve it.
I am ready to argue with anyone or explain what medications that did help.
Adderall, Dexedrine, Dextrostat, i've been on them 10 years (at diffrent times)
I think when i become independent on my own i wont have these problems, but then also it could get worse...

Matt you haven't answered me in a long time. Do you have a diagnosis of being manic or is it just an expression you use when you feel full of energy. And are you taking any add meds anymore. And why can't you see you doc on your own as we've gone over this a lot you are over l8. Love Phillipa

>Matt,
As I recall, months ago, you were seeking help and input from other posters about trying other medication for your unstable moods. Have you discussed this with your doctor? You are on the same meds as before according to above list. You have to get the mood cycling/depression under control before you explore other meds for your ADHD. If you continue with this current med regime, your condition will eventually get worse, thus harder to treat! Have you ever heard of the "kindling" theory? A good book for you to read is "Why Your Depression Isn't Getting Better" by Dr. M. Bartos. There are other books that tackle dualing disorders such as ADHD/Bipolar too. What ever happened to trying another mood stabilizer as you talked about? I suggested you give Lamictal a try and you were considering it.

Hi there :-)
I'm glad you're still doing great!!!
Just a little note here. I know you're a competent and lovely psychiatric nurse and i do care for you. But pay attention, Racer almost lost her mind here in trying to help Matthew. Well i'm exaggerating a bit, but you see the picture, do you ;-)
Bonne journée!

Hey MaximusHow are you doing? I hope all is well with you. How is summer in Canada? I am having a wonderful summer here in Pa. Enjoying the simple things in life, like gardening, taking my dogs for long walks, going to the gym with my husband, sitting on the deck and enjoying a cold glass of beer. My son will be going off to college at Penn State this fall and will be looking forward to seeing him on weekends for the football games and tailgating.
Thanks for the advice. I've been down this road with Matt before. I wasn't going to post, but I really feel he can beat this. Matt, if you read this, please do us all a favor and tell your p-doc you need a change in your meds.

I'm doing pretty good too, thanks to you :-) Finally June has been a good month, warm and dry. At least here, in Québec. My eldest son is also playing Football. What a sport, huh? So stay well and have a very good summer with your family, gentle fellow.

Hey you guys,
Im doing ok, when i posted i was irrtible as hell.
I can you rerember "mommie dearest" that lives here at home. Similar to "no wire hangers! expept you NOT going to the doctor with ME! she takes the keys away. i cannot reason with her about my mood disorders.
I cant get to the doctor, with out mega action taking.
Now i cant really express to polerbear for the amount of information, well advice that you have gaven, i've read your posts many times and thought about it but i didnt really consider it.
What is going to happen is im going to have to get a very good paying job to see a psychologist again.
But thanks for your advice. Im thinking your thinking that im thinking im taking this advice and taking it out the othe other ear. No i have alot of things at home that i have to deal with.
But i would have a hard time living on my own.
This is the only place to come for mental advice. For now.
Thanks
