[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 47458, member: 1550"] I agree that you can't concentrate with bipolar either. I have it and most likely had it as a kid. Not only can't you concentrate, but you are so hyper you can't sit still. Yet I was given Ritalin to see if it calmed me down and it not only made me worse, but when I crashed, it was into a black depression because of my mood disorder. I didn't take it for long. I didn't like the depression it caused and the moodswings. I agree that it's best to treat the bipolar first. Using stims for weight control is, in my opinion, not what it's for and isn't a good thing--some kids DO abuse stimulants to keep their weight down! As for focusing, stims will make even non-ADHD kid focus. They are taken in colleges for studying. If your daughter has bipolar, stims are probably not good for her and anti-depressants PLUS stims...wow. I'm surprised she has any control at all. [/QUOTE]
