What Are The Symptoms Of Bipolar Disorder?
I have a very specific situation... I have been diagnosed recently with BI POLAR disorder... The thing is I have been a habitual meth user for about 8 years now... I am now 25 years old and have seen both the bad and good about meth use... I have managed to self-medicate myself which I have found very successful in helping me to concentrate on things that naturally I am unable to... I have found that when I do not have my weekly dosage I have extreme lethargic symptoms... I have created amazing pieces of literature and art while under the influence of meth and want a professional opinion on the subject matter... I found out that a legal form of meth is used to treat ADHD and it got me wondering if maybe I have a case of ADHD... The thing is the street drug has become a big damper on my finances that if I can get it legally with a prescription than I'd rather do that... I believe my body reacts well to amphetamines and know for a fact that all my creativity and studious work was only accomplished because of the influence meth has had on my career... How does one ask their doctor to get prescribed meth for ADHD without some type of stigma to the situation? HELP!

dear,
if you are being diagnosed with bipolar disorder then i advice you to stop meth as it may further deteriorate your symptom. the relief that you obtain from consumption of meth is mostly due to the dependence that you have developed for meth.
i would advice you to slowly taper off the drug meth and get rid of it.
as far the problem of bipolar goes, potent mood stabilizer drugs are available in market that can treat your condition.
Remember meth will worsen the condition.
mood stabilizers are recommended.
consult a local psychiatrist.
bipolar has a fair prognosis provided you comply well to medications.
thank you
regards
