Thanks for using healthcare magic
In case of bipolar, you need mood stabilizer in form of lithium or sodium valproate with antidepressant like paroxetine or bupropion. For sleep, you can take benzodiazepine. Better to consult a psychiatrist for monitoring for drugs. These drugs are not available over the counter, you have to consult a psychiatrist.
