Pretty much this describes me too. My pdoc said something about hyperfocus and all my other MI masking it since that was all untreated. I have a Master's too (M.S. in Cell & Molecular Biology, you can bet that is not an easy major!).

IDK, even if it's used off-label, at least the Adderall lets me read & watch TV shows again, and I haven't had an increase in panic attacks, sleep is OK, usually around 6 hr/night (bipolar mixed, pdoc says, in this case, I think he is right), but last night 13 hours.
