I have been diagnosed with both ADHD and BP. I KNOW for certain that any of the stimulants (Adderall, Provigil, Nuvigil, etc.) cause mania in me. And I was taking a TINY dose of only 5mg of Adderall and I tried a TINY dose of Nuvigul and Provigil and got manic on both.

In the old days before I was truly diagnosed BP, I was on antidepressants and too much coffee could make me manic.

I'm sorry for your friend, it is hard. I know when I am manic from Adderall or Nuvigil I could study my butt off and do very well. But when I wasn't focused on studying - look out - I could be a real witch.

Maybe there are some people that can take ADHD meds without becoming psychotic, but I am not one of them.

I miss them, but I have to try and trudge through without them.
