My younger brother has bipolar. He takes lithium and it seems to help him. It's a tough, tough disorder, but I think you will have some relief if your son can find a mood stabilizer that works for him - lithium seems to have relatively few side effects except it makes my brother a little more depressed when he starts taking it after having stopped taking it for a while - but the depression lifts once he's at a therapeutic dose.
