Lithium can offset stimulatory actions of Adderall. But without the stabiliser a bipolar individual could 'rapid cycle' with a stimulant. Bipolar disorder with ADD is a tough combination to treat. One consideration is that a very low dose of a mood stabiliser might not be too harsh on ADD if combined with a stimulant. Some of the atypical antipsychotics are used for mood stability. Perhaps one of those would work. Amisulpride and aripiprazole (Abilify) come to mind.
Best,
