Take control over the diagnosis and be sure you voice what they do and what they don't do. Unfortunately children with ADD can later develop Bipolar

Agree.
Your kids are very young and need to be evaluated by a Pediatrician, a Child Psychiatrist etc.
Bipolar D/O is mostly an adult DX treated with Risperdone. Guanfacine is used to treat children suffering from ADHD.
Your kids need a definitive diagnosis made by a team of children specialists.
Have they been evaluated for the Autism Spectrum?
