Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I can understand your concern. Please mention which medicines were you taking?In patients of bipolar disorders benzodiazepine are given for sleep. If the drugs are stopped abruptly then this causes rebound insomnia. This could be the reason of insomnia you're having.Racing thoughts might be occurring due to persistent bipolar symptoms. Poor focus, forgetfulness, insomnia, racing thoughts could be due to persistence of symptoms. For this please talk with your psychiatrist for re-evaluation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
