You're bipolar and you haven't tried lithium yet? Is there a specific reason for it?
Lithium + Parnate(MAOi) tends to be very effective for many bipolars. It may just be the thing that gets you out of your rut.
You could always add an anticonvulsant to the mix as well.
Lithium + Lamictal + Parnate is also very effective.
ECT is another good option for severe bipolar/depression.
