unless you have ADD (some people on this forum have bipolar and ADD), I don't understand the addition of ritalin. You seem pretty over-medicated for a person with bp2, and there is a lot of literature contraindicating ADs in bipolar patients (particularly those who rapid cycle).As I posted before, unless you are actively psychotic, there is no place for an a/p in your med regime- a benzo would be a far better choice if you have anxiety. The sleeping problem probably is just a matter of getting your body acclimated to staying up during the day- it takes a while (I know as a relatively new Mom). I would seek a second opinion from a pdoc and address your fears of the meds you are on. best of luck-judy
