hey. I'm glad you weren't offended by my advice/input.

I know how you feel about lithium...docs have offered it to me, and it scares me so much that always say no. At lower doses though, I don't think its that bad, or at least that's what I've heard. Just be sure to exercise, stay well hydrated, and do get your blood levels done frequently (I'm sure your doc is on top of that...I'm just sayin').

Antidepressants really aren't for everyone, although the way they're prescribed you'd think they were. I think the the lithium+klonopin+adderall sounds reasonable, personally. Klonopin has some mild mood-stabilizing/anti-manic properties, so that's probably the best benzo for you right now.

Have you tried Ritalin? I think you usually need a higher dose of Ritalin to get the same amount of "oomph" you get from Adderall or other amphetamines, but it is pretty mild (in my limited experience) and it didn't make my moods as unstable as Adderall did. Just a thought.

I hope everything works out for you. Good luck.
