I have been diagnosed with Bipolar, ADD and Aspergers. I am currently prescribed lamictal 50mg a day. Wellbutrin 150mg a day. I find that I am very spacey. I think its from the wellbutrin; I read that it inhibits acentacholine receptors in the brain (which take care of concentration and memory) So I was thinking of getting adderall or ritalin for added focus/productivity cant do strettera because interaction with the wellbutrin. BTW most of my problems are stress related due to underperformance in school/work because I cant seem to focus. Which leads me to feel guilty and sad. Leading me to Bipolar actions. I think that if my focus/productivity/self worth, was improved I would be fine and live a good stable life. At the moment I may be "level" but definatley not happy. Im not depressed I just know if I could focus better my life would get a whole lot better. What say you about the Add meds in my position? If you have a better idea for meds let me know.

My 17 year old son also is bi polar and Aspergers. In addition to meds, he is also going to therapy. Have you also considered therapy?
