In reply to Ritalin for BIPOLA, posted by littlefamily on February 1, 2012, at 19:25:41
ritalin is not a tradtional treatment for bipolar. If you have classic bipolar, its probably not going to help - it may make things worse.
That being said, I have some sort of bipolar like disorder. I have distractability, impulsivity, hyperactivity and my mind races. Low dose ritalin has helped a lot.
If you experience a lot of mania, or psychotic like symptoms thought, its probably not your best bet.
