Just wondering how many of you out there have both ADD/ADHD and Bi Polar 1 or2. My Dr has told me sometime they go hand and hand. I have both, and thought I'd see how common it is.

Yeap,
Specially on happy days it get worst. In fact my 'goofiness' is a good indicator of where I am, and if I know where I am I feel less confused.

I had bad experiences with ADD medicines, and, at least for now, I decided not to take them. Besides, when I noticed that I was tempted to take more than the the precribed dose to get rid of depression I decided to stay away from it as much as I can, I don't need another addiction.

I learned to laught from my ADD and that doesn't make it go away, but at least I can enjoy it. In general, the more I know about it then best I feel.

Yes, Bipolar II, and for me the effects of ADHD are worse than bipolar as long as I take my medication for bipolar. I take ritalin for ADHD and still can't focus or complete tasks that I'm not motivated to do.
