I started Adderall a few months ago. I'm also bipolar, so I take Lamictal and Vistaril (for anxiety) too. I don't know if it's the med combo, but I since I started the med some of my symptoms have become paradoxically worse.

By this, I mean that I'm more inattentive, but in the way that I jump from activity from activity, but stay hyperfocused on the current activity as long as I don't SEE something else. I can honestly look at anything, then get an impulsive urge to engage in it (most often studying, housecleaning, & computer-related).

Now most people would say I should stop the med, but my concentration and motivation are better than ever -- which is saying a lot as just developed ADD this year (co-morbid w/ Bipolar) and previously held a 4.0 GPA at my university, and worked out like I was possessed.

My sleep schedule is WAY off, and I've read that this can be a factor in worsening ADD/ADHD. My question is does anyone else feel this way after meds? Like I said I'm very productive, and become utterly engaged and absorbed in whatever I'm doing (can read for hours as long as I don't get distracted).
