Hi there ~ The medications you are taking are appropriate for bipolar disorder.  However I am not sure what you are taking for adhd.  You also do not mention at what times of the day you take these medications and at what dosages.  However, it is possible that if you are taking any of these medications during the daytime, it may make you drowsy, which inturn might make your concentration poor.  I hope this helps with asking your psychiatrist to modify the dosages and suggest the right times to take these medications.  I advise you to also see a neurologist for any age related memory problem you may be having.  It is advisable to take your evening medications early during the evening and sleep within a half hour of taking the medication.   I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day !
