Upon hearing what you've described about your symptoms, it sounds to me that you definitely have some form of a lingering depression. I wouldn't classify it as Bipolar which is really just another name for manic deppressive. I would consider maybe Bipolar II but that also has really bad low depressions followed by an occassional level of hypomania or "slight elevation of happiness." Your bound to find one med that will work for you. I tried many meds until I finally had success with Effexor and Depakote together. The Effexor being the AntiDeppressant and the Depakote being the mood stabilizer of which I really feel keeps you exacty how is says and that is stabilized.
Good Luck,
Tommy
