Adult ADHD: Anyone have experience?

I was diagnosed with ADHD-C five years ago. I have Bipolar Disorder and started treatment for that 12 years ago. Once the Bipolar situation was evened out, I still had a lot of activity (too much) and so many of the classic ADHD behav?ors. I convinced my doctor to let me try Buproprion instead of Selectra for my anti-depressant. I had read on a website that this is the only treatment recommended for people with Bipolar. The effect was almost immediate. I could focus, I could walk outside. I could listen to music. I sat down and wrote four novels, each 400 pages long (I am a historian, technical writer and editor). Five years later I am still very creative yet calm.
