> I see my pdoc on tuesday and I'm looking for any ideas for bipolar depression besides lamictal and lithium?????

I don't know but if you get any good ideas let me know! I need to find something too.
I have read that Strattera can be useful in BP depression because it's less likely to activate agitation or mania. But it's got a lot of nasty side effects and often doesn't work at all. Still, it might be what I end up trying next.
(The lith and Seroquel are definitely better than nothing and give me a slight lift, but I'm left with a kind of gloomy I-don't-really-like-life kind of depression-- just not suicidal and agitated and flipped out)
