I have add dx too & bpII dx... Adderall really helped me focus. I ran a company (still am, but really close to quit the biz at the moment), raised 3 kids single. Took adderall off & on for the past 6 yrs or so - I'm 40 now. Pdoc requires me to take a mood stabilizer with it. I go through periods where I quit all meds. If I do go back on meds, something addressing the add is important to me, I'm interested in the non-stimulant. If I didn't have to work or raise kids I think I could make it med free.
