I find myself tired all of the time when I cycle low in the winter time. I sleep a lot, lay around and am totally unmotivated in doing things I love. I took Adderall at one point and it helped. I am trying to convince my pdoc that this is the way to go at this point. He is afraid it will cause mania too often. I don't mind as its the time I am most productive and successful. Right now I take Escitalipram and Abilify.
Any one have experience with Adderall and Bipolar? |

I've been on adderall for about a month or so and I do feel my mood a little elevated but not to the point of messing with my daily life. I actually enjoy the mood boost but I know I have to watch out for a bad increase. My doc was worried about addiction and/or mania so she started me off on a small dose and we'll eventually increase it a little bit at a time.

I have BP2 and have been on adderall for almost 2 years for ADD. When I first started it, it contributed to hypomania (with other factors) but I eventually got used to it and now have no issues with it. Just be careful, it is a difficult drug to come off of once you start.
