That’s a hell no for so many, often it’s not mania but instability.

I have schizoaffective-bipolar type and ADHD. I'm on Adderall and my mood is euthymic, but my psychosis isn't under control even with an AP. It must be hard to play the balancing game with symptoms in a patient with comorbitities.

Yup! My Dr won’t fill my stimulants if I’m anxious or in a big mood. She will only approve the lowest dose of adderall

ADHD, BPD-1, CPTSD. Nothing worked. Then ritalin happened. I call it a miracle in a bottle. Treating my ADHD FIRST has helped me work on my other issues.
