I have both BP and ADD, both diagnosed. I take Concerta for the ADD.

I truly believe I started showing symptoms of BP as a very young child. I also suffered from terrible anxiety and panic attacks when I was a young child.

They just did a few studies on Concerta and they found that it is very good for BP Depression and I have to say it works. Look it up online and it will say that it is now used for BP Depression as well as ADD.
