I should reiterate that the medicines that work for me may not work for someone else.(Just don't want people to shy away from some fringe medicines that may be helpful either. I did this and found out late in the game that they were helpful to me.)

The topamax may be playing a role too, as it precipitated some hypomania a few months back. The Serzone add on was late in the game and that is when I really got the "dopamine kick". But this is transient with some mood cycling.
