Comorbidity of Bipolar Disorder & ADHD #BipolarDisorder #ADHD #MentalHealth

I have been referred for an ADHD assessment via my GP on the advice of Inspire, the substance abuse treatment centre, which has helped me to focus on kicking my alcohol and cocaine addictions. They advised me that as I used the cocaine to level me out and make me feel like I was in a stable place, the medication used for ADHD, Amphetamines, are stimulants, and this may be a link.

What’s anyone’s advice or recommendations or thoughts on this matter? Can you become dependent on these meds?

Caffeine troubles

For whatever reason my body is so freaking sensitive to caffeine or other stimulants now 😖 I could take midol just fine when I was a teenager but now? I'm borderline shaking.

Energy drinks are fine when they're not paired with anything else (like soda) and I limit it to only 1 or 2 a day (they must be very far apart). Soda (like coca cola I'm fine with) I can tolerate, but not when it's paired with say an energy drink or anything else.

I take the dose recommended for midol to relieve me of cramps and the like but Jesus Christ the pure caffeine in it is SO UNCOMFORTABLE.
