darkeyes, you very well may have to try finding a new pdoc. My pdoc doesn't LIKE prescribing me a medication for ADD, but she knew if she didn't, I was going elsewhere. I made it very clear the last time I seen her. MANY pdocs think that since you're bi polar, you don't have ADD, that ADD symptoms come along with being bi polar. Most of them are very wrong. I too tried a few different diet pills, that were stimulants. They helped me greatly concentrate as well. When we take stuff like that and see that our body and minds start working after taking them, that's a sign we KNOW what the problem is. Just a matter of getting the pdoc to listen. Wish you the best with that. (((((darkeyes)))))
