   Bipolar & a.d.d.?? (ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder board)

25th November 2003
I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder about 16 years ago. For the last 13 years I've been on Prozac & Lithium. In the last 2 years I was also diagnosed with sleep apnea, I use a Cpap machine every night, and have also been diagnosed with restless leg syndrome and borderline narcolepsy. For the Narcolepsy I was prescribed Provigil. So, I was researching this drug on the internet, i found out that it is also given to people with a.d.d. I researched further and read the book "Driven to Distraction" (a book about a.d.d.) After reading this book, it really looks like i fit almost all of the symptoms of a.d.d. I don't know if it's the bipolar in me that's resembling a.d.d. or what. I talked to my Pdoc about it and I'm going to be tested for a.d.d. in a couple of weeks. This is getting very confusing. Anyone in a similar boat?
