"i was diagnosed with bipolar 2 and adhd.  stimulant control of adhd was out of the question because it would exasperate bipolar 2. my doc started me tentatively on intuniv and told me i may be groggy at first but over time it could help me feel more calm and focused. she was right. the first day i took it right before bed and woke up feeling lethargic. but every day since got progressively better. i was more calm, experienced less anxiety and mood swings, was able to focus and handle stresses more easily, and because i wasn&#039;t so anxious or emotional i wasn&#039;t overeating. my weight leveled out, i was sleeping through the night and quit getting insomnia, i was able to sit still through classes without fidgeting and really concentrate."
