if you are not taking any meds for bipolar than it should be fine. But adderal may worsen your bipolar as it may act as a trigger to mood swings. Really depends on if you are prescribed adderal or using recreatinally. Don't ever mix meds without asking a doctor if it is safe first.

Adderall is indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Narcolepsy. It is not indicated, nor recommended for off-label use, in the treatment of Bi-polar Disorder.

In other words, no.

Does seroquel have the same effect as Adderall?

Answer: No, it does not. I would probably say that since Seroquel is an anti-psychotic used for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, that it is the complete opposite. Adderall can most definetly lead to psychosis, or if you are schizophrenic it has a high potential for abuse. Adderall can also make your bipolar much worse. They do not have the same effect simply because anti-psychotics and stimulants are not the same. hope this helps, Megan.*******
