"Co-dependent"?: Your sxs may be the result of "co-dependency", or what is properly identified as "dependent personality disorder." In this condition, your mood can soar or plummet depending on whether or not you experience yourself as "fulfilled" or "meeting the needs" of someone else. You might explore this in therapy or with such books as "Co-Dependent No More" by Melodie Beatie. Good luck!

Not sure I follow?: Perhaps if you described the specific behaviors rather than referring to them as "bipolar symptoms" we could better answer this question. Notice you take ativan and have panic attacks and that you are also on vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). Could any of your symptoms be related to anxiety? Try clarifying and re-ask.
