I never said that it can not increase the chance for mania. I said it has less of a chance and as a result is a better "first line" treatment, the OP just said that he/she has tried other medications for ADD, except for Adderall. Stimulants are never a good first line of treatment for ADD/ADHD when someone also has Bi-Polar.

OP: Have you been trying the XR/ER or IR versions of the medications?
