This was added to my mix of drugs to combat excessive daytime sleepiness (side effect of other drugs) & help me to focus. I had "foggy" thinking without this. Usually used for ADD, ADHD, but have heard from my provider that it is found to be useful in treating bipolar.

Positive aspects of this (pros): better focusing and less hyper
Negative aspects of this (cons): major weight loss, bipolarity

I took it 2 years ago. It did help me with my ADD but it increased my bipolarity. At the start of taking it, I weighed around 99 pounds. By the time my doctor took me off, I was 87. I was 4'9"
