Hello,
It sounds like you are really have a horrible "mixed episode." With the manic behavior, not sleeping, and depression all at the same time it sounds horrible. I am new to the board and have Bipolar 1, mixed with rapid cycling. In general, it is wise to avoid stimulants such as ADD meds with a history of mania or mixed episodes. They increase your rapid thoughts, cause anxiety, and cause insomnia. In turn, the lack of sleep is contributing to your moods. I definitely think you need a second opinion on your medication.
I really hope you can get some stability soon. You need it, you deserve, and your bank account may need it too!
