Okay So I'm kind of diagnosing myself from some amen clinic information

I'd say I'm somewhat overfocused a.d.d. and a little bittle of the temporal lobe a.d.d. (only have the misinterprets comments as negative, memory problems, struggles with reading)

The only reason why I'm considering the temporal lobe as part of myself is because I used to take trileptal (anti seizure med) to calm the so called rapid thoughts that were making me not sleep from Zoloft, indicating I was slightly bipolar. They actually recommend an anti seizure medication for temporal lobe a.d.d. and it said if stimulants are taken alone, that they can irritate these people and I have always become pretty irritable from stimulants.
I haven't been taking any medication for depression for about 8 months, but stress from school has kind of made me go into a relapse. I'm only in the anxiety stage so far though.

For overfocused a.d.d, it is recommended that you either take effexor or another SSRI along with a stimulant.

So I was wondering if any of you guys know of a drug out there that works good for anxiety, "bipolar tendencies", and as an antiseizure med? My mom was talking maybe about lamictal? Also if something would work well with a stimulant that would be great too lol....... i know I feel like i'm asking for a miracle drug, but I KNOW there are so medications out there that tend to focus on all of these things. I'm tired of taking a pill for each thing.


I always felt like I could of done better on a different drug than the zoloft, when I got off of it I felt better. I didn't feel so drugged. It kinda felt like it was too stimulating for me or I dunno just too strong.
