I am now on a stimulant medication for narcolepsy which is more commonly prescribed for ADHD. I do not have ADHD. The medication is producing side effects, and especially triggering hypomania and insomnia. The medication is Dexedrine. There are other stimulants to try.
if I take too little, I still need naps during the day. If I take a full dose, I end up sped up etc.
If you have ADHD comorbid with Bipolar, what is your treatment regimen?
