some stimulants more/less likely to cause mania?

Posted by cybercafe on January 13, 2003, at 13:57:47

i am bp 2 + ADD and looking for a good stimulant
i'm wondering why my doc chose ritalin sr, is it the least likely to precipitate a hypomanic episode?
from limited reading, everyone seems to prefer adderall xr for effectiveness and duration or dexederine if they cannot tolerate adderall (tics? pain? blood pressure?)
is this right?
