I'm also ADHD and BP. Currently on Depakote, Sertraline, Vraylar and Vyvanse. The right med combo is doing wonders for me. I hope you find yours.
I have heard positive things about Vyvanse. My psychiatrist is wary of prescribing stimulants due to my bipolar diagnosis.
Used to take Adderall as a kid, was pretty effective for ADHD but totally destroyed my already low appetite
I’m also ADHD and BP. I take vyvanse and it’s amazing. The other stimulants I tried made me manic. Vyvanse doesn’t do anything like that to me. Might be worth a shot!
