If you're bipolar, you probably already know to be careful with drugs, but I just want to reiterate that it also extends to modafinil.
I'm type-II bipolar, so it's not too severe, but I could tell the moda was making my manic swings worse. It was subtle, and I didn't realize it until I had a few significant(for me) manic episodes. Stopping it seems to have helped. I was a little worried about 'kindling' and causing a permanent worsening of symptoms but that doesn't seem to have happened.
