My 12 year old daughter has started to take neurontin and is back on Dexedrine for ADHD and possible bi-polar. I can't tell if this is a better option than the Wellbutrin she was taking before. We want her to be able to focus in school and sleep at night. It's been a long road for us and we're wanting the right combination of drugs that will allow her to be happy and successful. Anyone out there know if this is possible??
