Hi,
im a new member to this site! I was diagnosed with ADD when i was about 10 years old. I always had a lingering feeling that these med made me a little messed up i the head. For example, I would get very happy for a while then very sad, i would act on almost every impulse and i would spiral into these awful fits of anger were i wouldnt be able to control myself.But about a year ago i started weening myself off these pills and im happy to say i am know 18 years old and no longer take them. But for some reason all th thing that ihought were side effects are still occuring. I still have these crazy mood swings. I also have no true regard for others and how my actions may affect them unless its directly related back to me. Sometimes i will have this feeling of supiriority to everyone around me then suddenly i will feel like im the scum of the earth, There are lots of things different from when i was taking the pills but the one of the key things was my sexual desires. I think the medicine repressed my sexual impulses but now i act upon them as a way to reasure myself that i was pretty,,,i think i may have borderline personality disorder. I looked it up online and im worried i may have it. Can someone help my figure this out? anyone who has it could just talk to me and tell me if they had these feelings too???

You may have bpd with aspects of bipolar but only a psychiatrist would know for sure. Medications for ADHD as they are stimulants can sometimes worsen moodswings in people with bipolar but not permanently if they have been discontinued. They may have triggered moodswings but if you had the potential for bipolar it would have happenned anyway. Speak to a psychiatrist about all this.
