Thank you very much for the reply! Well my symptoms have just been extreme fatigue, suicidal and homicidal thoughts, increased need for sleep yet it still being hard to fall asleep, and I've had a larger urge to SI but I haven't.

As for the Ritalin and Adderall, I have heard that it isn't very wise to use this along with my currents meds. However, since bipolar patients have a higher chance of having ADD because of the rapid thoughts they have, I believe that this is one of the main reasons I'm on these stimulants. I need both the Adderall XR and Ritalin because I use the XR to last me through the school day and the Ritalin to give me a short burst so that I can do my homework and projects and whatnot. To be honest, I feel like nothing much really happens when I take them, but it's hard to say that considering how the first few days when you start them, that sort of "high" you get is only because they're fresh in your system. So ugh I'm torn and idk what to do.

As for the Lithium, yes my blood levels are being checked. The pdoc said "they're right where I'd like them to be." So I'm just hoping that all of this is just a phase and that it'll all get better soon...

Thanks so much once again!
