Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, in bipolar disorder, you need mood stabilizer or low dose antipsychotic and that would help you a lot. If you take any stimulant, that could aggravate your symptoms. You can discuss this with your psychiatrist. Alprazolam would make you dependent upon it, so better to leave it as soon as possible. in case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
