Theory goes that quite a few bipolars are also ADD, comorbidly. You'd think it would aggravate mania and I'm concerned about that. But again, the theory goes that at the correct dose it should actually promote a calming and balancing effect on the frontal lobes. But that correct dose has to be carefully monitored.
It does seem hopelessly confusing, but surprising how frequently ADD rides along with all the mood disorders.
