I’ve been diagnosed with adhd inattentive type, and have suspected bipolar 2 diagnosis. I’ve been on a waitlist for a consultant psych for the bipolar diagnosis for some time.

I went private for the adhd diagnosis, so have had that before the bipolar diagnosis. 

I’ve been patiently waiting for my bipolar assessment / diagnosis before starting stimulants via the private psychiatrist… but things are taking so long and I’m getting impatient. 

The reason I decided to go publicly funded after going private for the adhd diagnosis is that it will become quite complicated and expensive if I do all this privately. I feel better going direct to NHS instead of being treated privately for bipolar. 

TLDR
Anyone have any experience of running with stimulants without mood stabilisers? I feel like I’m about to explode having all this bearing over me without any actionable treatment.
