Hi Femlite, as Kimberly pointed out stimulants seem to have calming properties for ADHD people (but if you are bipolar too stimulants can precipitate mania). For what I've read one person can have both BP2 and ADHD. If mania is one of your syntoms why do you disagree with the hypomania's diagnosis ? I would like to add that sleep deprivation can lead by itself to mania ... and BPII can lead to ADHD-like syntoms ... Anyway I experienced narrowmindness and so on only when I was under meds (Anafranil). Hope some of this helps
