jzp,
Another possibility to consider is the presence of ADD as the cause or even co-morbid along with your depression.
I was diagnosed bipolar as well but the symptoms of ADD, innattentive type (without hyeractivity but rather HYPOactivity) are what better fits my symptoms. You can check it out at www.chadd.org and follow the links to take online tests, etc. if it sounds all too familiar.
I am struggling too, right now, searching for something that works. I hope we both find our answer soon.
My next stop may be an MAOI, like Nardil or Parnate, although the diet restrictions are especially unattractive to me.
