Hey guys, is anyone using or has tried Modafinil and/or Adderall for Bipolar 2/Cyclothymia?? 

They seem to be helping my depression a LOT but only on the days I take them, which is annoying because you can develop tolerance to both. Adderall immensely helps anxiety and agitation - everything slows down and I feel tremendous peace. I haven’t been officially diagnosed but my therapist said I might have bipolar 2...I think I’m somewhere on the spectrum, most likely Cyclothymia though. I have prescription for Adderall but not Modafinil since all the psychiatrists I’ve talked to won’t prescribe Mod even though there are some studies showing that it’s beneficial...and I’m not interested in all the typical prescriptions (anti-psychotics, mood stabilizers, lithium) because of the weight gain (I’ve had an eating disorder and the possibility of my body changing could be detrimental for my self-esteem). 

Anyway, I’d love to hear if anyone had any experiences with them (with or without prescription) and what you guys think :) 

Thank you so much!
