What Are The Symptoms Of Bipolar Disorder?

I have currently been on alprazolam wellbutrin and adderall for about a year now. I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder adhd chronic depression & generalized anxiety and i am only 25 years old. I am not currently treating my bi polare because i wasnt sure if i had it. Different doctors have told me different things. I went through some trauma as a child and on into my adulthood. I do have mood swings, not as bad on my meds but still do. I have insomnia even after taking a .5mg xanax at night. My deppression has gotten much better but at times i still feel sad. and other times, i feel like i could run fore president and win hands down. Confident and pretty and then the next day i feel digusting and that no one likes me. I think people are talking about me alot of the times. or judging me. I get anxiety over whose looking at me if my outfit is cute do they think im ugly do they think im cool, just all kinds of thigns and the adderall slowed those thoughts down alot so all the meds im on have decreased my symptoms by over half, but i still have the symptoms randomly throughout each week. I just want your opinion on if i am bi polar or if i am not. I have done some very crazy things, wrecked cars went to jail dwi s but can hold down a job and function most of the time. Im implusive sometimes and other times i am not. HELP.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Alprazolam or any other sedative can at times cause impulsivity, disinhibition and so on. Check whether there is a real need for Alprazolam.
As there are mood fluctuations, mood stabilizers may play an important role for your stability. Impulsivity also gets reduced by mood stabilizers.

Consult your Psychiatrist and discuss this.

I hope I have answered your query. Feel free to ask further questions.
