This is clearly Bipolar I disorder. Your Psychiatrist should have already given you this diagnosis based on you accounts. If he hasn't find another one. You should probably be on lithium as well as lamictal. This cocktail seems to control both highs and lows very effectively. You may need to keep some zyprexa or clonazapine around for when you start to go manic or hypomanic (high or racing thoughts).
It's pretty common for Bipolars to self medicate but is usually a big mistake because it can intensify your episodes and make them more frequent. Seeking treatment the moment you feel you might be going high is the best idea. Don't wait! Good luck.
Sounds like mania to be. Manic Depression, or more commonly, bipolar. I'm not a doctor, so you should see one and find out for sure. You should really cut the drug use, I don't think it's helping you. But many people with manic depression abuse substances. You're self medicating. You need to see a psych doctor asap.
Possibly Bi-polar...you need to see a Psychiatrist and a therapist...and stop abusing amphetamines. You're adding to your mental health issues, not solving them! KJL
