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? __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Lybalvi 5 mg as a PRN Gabapentin 1200 mg, Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity Suspected narcolepsy Treated with Ritalin 5mg |
