ADHD or Bipolar?

Posted by SheilaC on December 9, 2009, at 16:34:08

I finally got in to see a real psych doc today for a real evaluation.

After going over my history, asking several questions/giving scores, etc. He felt that maybe I might be more ADHD than bipolar.

I told him I've been seeing my old psych nurse at another practice and I needed to see a doc for a real evaluation of what was going on. He feels that if there is any BP involved it is minor.

He suggested I consider a trial of Concerta and stay with the Klonopin. He even said I could stay with the Depakote unless the side effects were too bothersome.

Anyone ever try Concerta with Klonopin?

If I do try the ADHD med and it helps, it could explain a lot of issues I have had for the last 20 years.

Klonopin is used for bipolar and also seizure disorders in high enough doses.
