dealing with Narcissism/ PTSD and Bi-polar disorder

Two years ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and as time went on I was found to have Post-traumatic stress disorder  as well. As most people on medications for mental illnesses. I quit taking mine through the two year period and in that time resolved little issues. I never took therapy although I should have but listened to people say "Buck up and quit complaining." or something along those lines. In recent time I became married moved to Texas from Chicago-land and began the SSRI Celexa in which I began becoming physically ill, irritable in which I was told that was normal. Six months later I became violent toward my wife who has Lyme disease I drug her around a room then when she hid from me crying I slapped her and to this day I don't know how it all happened or why I would do that. I had never been abusive before to anyone in my life. I was kicked out by my wife and when I came back to Indiana I started getting help again this time choosing to see a psychotherapist although I'm still on hold for it because they say it a "Process". But to get to my question, Can Narcissistic Personality Disorder
be confused with Bi-Polar Disorder? And could it be because I may have a personality disorder more so than bi-polar disorder that I become physically ill by my medications they give me?

Unfortunately not exactly however someone did send me a personal message which gave me a lot of good idea's but what I'm looking for is something I should make a definitive game plan for. Maybe I could work with someone that could give me a better diagnosis or game plan. I understand that somethings take time but I want to do this aggresively.
