A few questions:
1. What meds have you tried?
2. Why are you not on a stimulant for your adhd?
3. Why are you on such a high dose of abilify? Is that your mood stabilizer?
4. Have you tried lamictal?
I would talk to your doctor about swapping the wellbutrin for lamictal (or adding the lamictal to the wellbutrin), possibly getting rid of abilify, and adding a stimulant for your adhd.
I have bipolar and adhd as well, and I'm on dexedrine (for adhd), cymbalta (for depression), valproate (for mood stabilization), and abilify (for hair pulling and depression). Works great for me.
Honestly, I think you really need to try lamictal (for your BP II) and a stimulant (for your adhd).
