Yes, I have been diagnosed with ADD and Bipolar 1 , and am currently on meds for both. Well, the truth is that this is the first time I am somewhat stable on meds in about two years. Currently I'm on 4 mgs Gabitril, 250 Lamictal. After I developed a tolerance to Adderall about 6-8 months ago I have really had trouble finding a good med for the ADD without messing my mood up tremendously-usually exploding me severely manic. This sucks even more since I'm in college; trying to concentrate and focus while studying isn't happening really.
However, I've had a fair amount of experience with the stim's.
Also, I've had a great response to the Gabitril.

The difficulty with treating comorbid BP and ADD is the problem with stim's wreaking your moods.

Does you doc compeletely refuse to prescribe you any stims?
