  • Stimulants are contraindicated for bipolar disorder, that’s probably why you had a bad reaction to ADHD meds. If you’re actually bipolar that is. Bipolar and ADHD are regularly misdiagnosed for one another. Further complicating things, something like 60-70% of bipolar people also have ADHD. Mood stabilizers are the first line treatment and, depending on how well you’re able to manage your bipolar symptoms, some psychiatrists may give a low dose stimulant or SNRI to help with the ADHD issues.

    I learned all.of this after my new psychiatrist decided that I’m actually bipolar instead of ADHD. She’s not treating me for either and instead went with Prozac for my depression. As someone who’s also on the pharma-go-round, I wish you the best and hope you find something that works well



  • My suspicion is that your stopper isn’t sealing well, possibly from wear or just odd positioning. If you feel like ruining what’s left of that Jim beam in the decanter you can run a little experiment. Clear the condensation out of the decanter and mark the current level. Leave it for a week and see if the level dropped to establish a baseline. After marking the change, coat the stopper in Vaseline and leave it for another week. See if that helped or not. If it helped then you’ve got a leak
