I'm taking Concerta (Ritalin) for my poor concentration in School. I just started back on today. The problem is I over think everything and worry too much. The concerta seemed to balance my mood not much over thinking more focused. I keep switching medications everytime I see my doctor its almost like an impulse. I cant stop wanting to switch. Im not taking any anti depressant but I am taking depakote and seroquel xr. I kinda feel guilt that I am taking Concerta for some reason, even though Bipolar and ADHD run in my family. Isn't possible to have both? I feel better on a Stimulant because I have energy and feel better than anti-depressant the anti depressants never seemed to do much for me. Bottom line: Is it ok for a Bipolar patient to take a stimulant?
