Can drug/alcohol abuse cause Bi-Polar?

Posted by panic_attack on November 11, 2003, at 9:52:05

My neighbor is a therapist and he really strongly beleives that I am bi-polar. I have never been diagnosed as Bi-Polar but with Panic/anxiety disorder. I did alot of recreational drugs as a teenager and heavy drinking. One night I OD on cocaine and I have never been the same. I am 23 y/o now and still dealing with alcohol abuse. I take Lexapro and Risperdal. After I go out drinking, I am in a complete mania all day long. Just feel real crazy and psycho and do not feel like myself. Feel like I am going to die and want to know if this could be Bi-Polar that I am experiencing? What do you think?
Thanks.
