At my last pdoc visit, she decided I was now stable enough (on Lithium & Valproate) to begin treating what looks like a life-long history of ADHD. I took 1 Concerta 54 capsule, and within 4 hours I was hypomanic and behaving like a total paw-paw. 4 hours later I crashed into depression and was fighting the sui demons again. pdoc is out of contact until Monday, so I decided not to take anymore Concerta until I get stable again. Sigh!

Has anyone got experience to share about using stimulants like methylphenidate while managing bipolar?
