manic depression and ritalin (concerta)?

Posted by Christy Sales on October 7, 2000, at 12:18:26

I have suffered from what I believe is manic depression in a bad way for about two years. about a year ago I was diagnosed as bipolar. I have tried different meds. & found celexa and lithium to work well. however, along with the depression I have been unable to concentrate at all really. (racing thoughts, jumping from one thing to another, anxiety sometimes)
I've been seeing a new dr. and recently brought this problem up. so he has prescribed me concerta (ritalin). he also hopes I might be off my other meds because this will work well. now I am starting to realize he believes me to be add? or is just using me as a ginuea pig. I've been told that this is one of the worst drugs you can give to someone who is bipolar & I should find a new dr. I don't know what to do, does anybody know much about this? I can't find much at all online & I'd really appreciate any info. thanks :)
