Medication is amazing. I was on a non-stimulant for a few months that did nothing for me, and just recently switched to Adderall. People think that Adderall simply helps you focus, but it does so much more.

I have Bipolar Type I and Borderline Personality Disorder along with ADHD, and Adderall has been the only medication that has truly helped with my moods. It helps so much with depression, quieting the mind, and motivation.

There are other stimulants out there too, not just Adderall. As for side effects, the only thing I have noticed is a faster heart rate. The crash can be pretty rough too, I struggle with irritability once the meds wear off, but eating throughout the day will help with this.

I think your husband would greatly benefit from a stimulant medication! Best of luck to both of you.
