are there any options, references or any supporting material confirming that a modafinil and lamictal combination is effective for bp/add ?
Has anyone else had any luck treating BP1/ADD ?

Hi Zane, i'm BP2 and ADHD. the ADHD is new (just this week -BP2 Dx last Oct.) saw a new pdoc on Wed. and He was Great. Anyway he started me on strattera and symbyax (zyprexa and prozac in one). I'm on day 2 of meds so i don't have a lot of news for you yet but i'm hopeful. Currently i am feeling a little spacy and tired and Really thirsty. I've read a lot about these different drugs and looking at the pros and cons it seems that one drug might counter act cons of the other (zyprexa-weight gain, strattera-weight loss)etc. So i'm gonna keep faithfull for three weeks and see if this works. I'll keep posting side effects or benefits if people are interested.
