Thanks very much for your question.
For treatment of depression: Venlafaxine ER is a good choice for you. Sometimes this is augmented with Wellbutrin, Remeron, or an atypical neuroleptic such as Risperdal or Abilify.
For treatment of bipolar disorder: One of Lithium, Depakote, or Lamictal is standard treatment as a mood-stabilizer.
For treatment of ADHD: D-Amphetamine Salt XR is an excellent choice. If 40mg works better for you, you can try it, but be aware this may make your bipolar disorder worse by making you manic.
