I just recently presented my psychiatrist the idea that I think I have ADHD and he thinks it may be the case, but ruled out all stimulants right off the bat because of the bipolar. I've seen a lot of people with bipolar and adhd on this forum that are on a stimulant, so I wonder why my psychiatrist is so wary of them. I'm already on wellbutrin and that's not helping my symptoms unless you count the fact that I was able to find something I lost today (my glasses). I lose things all the time, but I've been without my glasses for like a month. It seems like if something was short acting enough and still allowed me to sleep I would be in the clear. Is Vyvanse fairly short acting? Which stimulants are?
