[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 732518, member: 1963"] I was diagnosed with ADD/Depression back in late 2002 and put on Strattera and Effexor. I promptly went raging manic. When I suggested to my then psychiatrist, that given my family history, it might be possible that my issue was bipolar disorder, she fired me. I went without care until I moved to N. WI, where the bipolar diagnosis was confirmed, and I began the medication merry go round. The ADD diagnosis was confirmed a year later. No medications. Finally several months ago, my current doctor judged me stable enough to put me on a very low dose of Ritalin, which I do not take as often as I should, because it gives me headaches and tends to make me woozy. Ritalin also lasts around 5-6 hours for me. I think I'm low on some enzyme needed to metabolize it. Sort of like the same issue I have with opiates: tiny amounts affect me, and they wear off slowly (and make me sick). [/QUOTE]
