i started smoking cigarettes a while ago and noticed i get very relaxed when the headrush kicks in obviously i don’t want to make smoking a habit, should i ask my doctor about getting back on ritalin or something or would that make manic episodes worse i already take geodon so i should at least be a bit sedated

      You should see what the p-doc has to say. Were you in Ritalin before, when you had an ADHD diagnosis or something? Or was it used to help you with your BP?

        back then i didnt have a bipolar diagnosis but when i was diagnosed i said ive mostly been dealing with it all my life. i was also on risperidone as a child so they knew i had some symptoms. ritalin was for adhd/tourette’s syndrome.

        thought some people might have experience at least
