I am BP2 and on adderall for ADD. Initially it did cause hypomania but eventually my body got used to it and that went away. My doc just kept close eye on me during hypomania. He tried to counter balance it with lithium but I didnt like how zombieish the lithium made me feel.

Now I have been on it 2 years and no issues except my body being addicted to it. Be careful getting on stimulants because getting off is hell from what I hear.

I was told by an EMT that vyvanse is better because it is metabolized in your large intestine. My goal is to get off adderall and try that.
