Hi I am clinically diagnosed with Bipolar a few months ago. I am currently preparing for a big exam of my life and it is in 5 days. I have been struggling to focus, concentrate, control my mood, retain information and my sleep. I have stop my prescribed meds for now because I feel like it is affecting y cognition and comprehension. Has anyone here tried using Nootropics (Modafinil or Armodafinil) ? If yes which brand also any side effects? Also, I would appreciate any recos or suggestions to deal with this or how you prepare on your exams. I badly want to be a lawyer and my bipolar self is not cooperating! Help.

Thank you very much!
