ADHD
"I find Ritalin allows me to focus. With my ADD and bipolar I couldn&#039;t even read a book. My doctor says though its a stimulant, Ritalin tends not to push bipolars into mania. I was self medicating my ADD with caffeine which made me anxious so I&#039;m glad the Ritalin replaces that. I&#039;m on a low dose now and hope to increase to where the positive effects last longer, as they are short lived now."
