I have ADHD inattentive type and Bipolar II and I usually don't take meds during hypomania since I actually have enough energy for the day (gasp, what?!)

I've found that attention issues persist during the day. I spent 2 hours in class today without retaining a single iota of knowledge. However, if I take my meds during hypomania I will be anxious and jittery all day and my heart beats really fast.

I take 10mg Ritalin twice a day and/or when needed (no more than 20mg total per day) and 5mg when I just need a little boost to get out of bed and don't need to do anything braincell-killing during the day.

My pills are 10mg so it's hard to split it down to 1/4th a pill but I do have a pill chopper, haven't tried 2.5mg this time around.

Any experiences or advice please?
