| 4 | Bipolar I disorder | Dry mouth. slight dizziness that has gone away. | I take a lot of meds to control bipolar. They work but for years I have not been able to get anything done. Partly because I had no focus and partly because I was sleeping 12-16 hours a day. Concerta has helped but I think I need to up the dose. I also had good results from Adderall in early 2000's when diagnosed with major depression and ADHD. I'd like to go back to Adderall if Concerta poops out. Never let your pdoc put you on regular time released ritalin, it's useless. You will get 3 hours max out of it. Stay strong. | M | 58 | 2 weeks 36mg 1X D | 11/23/2011 | |
