I'm on Concerta 54 and methylphenidate 20 as needed. I was on Abilify, but was taken off of that because I was still manic while taking medication. ADHD treatment is big for me, so it's better for me to find a stimulant that works and then find a mood stabilizer. I just started one called Saphris, and it works very well.

However, if your mood stabilizing meds are more of a concern, I would try talking to your pdoc about a different stimulant, like Vyvanse (which didn't work for me, but has a different chemical structure, it could for you!). Concerta has all sorts of side effects, but the stuff does work.
