I have adult ADHD and have been taking Adderall XR for many years until recently. I was taken off of the stimulant because I was bipolar manic. My outpatient psychiatrist is planning on putting me back on the medication but only after several weeks of no symptoms of mania. I was thinking about asking my IOP psychiatrist about prescribing for me either Strattera, Vyvanse, or Concerta because my inattentiveness and restlessness has been horrible. I really struggle to listen and pay attention in my current IOP program and so I'm not getting much out of these sessions. Also, I'm supposed to be starting school in a few weeks and I need to be able to focus in class.

What has been your experience with either Strattera, Vyvanse or Concerta? Has anyone experienced symptoms of mania while on any of these medications? Also, for anyone who has taken both Adderall and any of these 3 medications, are they just as effective as Adderall?
Thanks.
