i started smoking cigarettes a while ago and noticed i get very relaxed when the headrush kicks in obviously i don’t want to make smoking a habit, should i ask my doctor about getting back on ritalin or something or would that make manic episodes worse i already take geodon so i should at least be a bit sedated

    i’ve had symptoms since around 7 years old and been medicated since then, on ritalin and risperidone for adhd/tourettes

    wasn’t diagnosed with bipolar until like 25 but i noticed i don’t function as well without ritalin as i did back in high school. thought i’d ask here in case i was just grasping at straws before i schedule a psychiatrist appointment for something that might negatively affect me
