Maybe your mood swings are from bipolar may responsible for some of the symptoms of ADHD. If you are bipolar (have mood swings) then a mood stabilizer may be the way to go.

Psychiatry is an extremely complicated science, and I've heard of many drugs being used for legitimate purposes outside of their original usage. Lamotragine is a mood stabilizer, for instance, yet also aids people who suffer from epilepsy. Set up time with a skilled psychiatrist, and he/she will work with your to establish a medication regimen that will work.

Of course.

As for me, I like to 'stabilize my mood' with a bit of white wine at night to balance out my Adderall. Works like a charm.
