Question by cory s: I am diagnosed with ADD and Bipolar but I wonder if theres something different wrong.?
I was diagnosed at age 8 with ADD and put on ritalin. I had all the signs hyper and everything. Anyway I guess around age ten is when I am able to remember from. I loved being on my ritalin It was the only time I was happy I did good in school I didnt get in trouble etc etc. I never wanted to go back to the other me. So I satrted sneaking extra pills mom would hide them and I would find them. I hated life without them I used to lay in bed crying because i wanted to be normal. through the years I was on and off ritalin and every time i would always take more than perscribed. When I was on them life was great I was an honer roll student. Off it life was miserable failed in school always felt empty. The Dr said he thought there was an underlying mood disorder as well. Any when I turned 18 I was takin off ritalin. I started taking Mini Thins To give me an affect similar to ritalin I started out taking – 5-6 several times a day but as time went on I had to take more to get the needed affect within two years I was taking 100 a day EVERYDAY just to be able to function what i called normally.I took for 12 years by then I was taking close to 200 a day. EVERDAY. When epedrine was takin off the shelf. I had to turn elsewhere to get what I thoughty i needed to be normal so I turned to crystal meth. I did meth for a couple years. and quit even a year later i still wasnt functional I couldnt focus had no motivation no intrest in anything always sleepy been called lazy. But i just feel an emptyness like i just exist my only pleasure is my 2 year old. These are what I have been trying to medicate myself from all these years I am also bipolar but the treatment is working good. I also take Vyvanse for my ADD when I take the vyvanse I function ok but it only last about 6 hours. is there something else that may cause me to be like this I mean the lack of intrest and motivation always tired etc etc. Stimulants are the only thing that make me feel right. Has the fact that I have been on some form of stimulant all my life caused me to not know how to function without them? Or could the years of taking massive amounts of ephedrine fried my brain? Or is it just plain ADD and Bipolar?
Mr. Taco Duh I am a drug addict been on friggin speed since I was 8 you raise someone on speed that long what do you expect. As for not taking my meds right I did not say that I am taking them as directed. I been clean over a year. So getting off it didnt bring me near a normal life it was just an existance. Its not when I am on something thats the problem its when I am not that everything goes to the dumps. lol I am asking Is there something else that could cause the problems like tyroid head truama etc etc

Best answer:

Answer by Mr. Taco
All of the above. You are likely bipolar for sure, and possibly ADD. But more importantly, you are a drug addict. No joke. The smartest thing you could do for yourself if you ever want to be “normal” is to get in to see your doctor immediately and tell them you are not taking your drugs as prescribed. Then check into rehab. The problem is not the prescription drugs. It has been your foolish decision not to take them properly.

Good luck!
