ECT can work, but it should probably be a last choice due to the possible side effects.
Have you tried any other AEDs or AAP's? Bipolar mania appears to be lot easier to take care of than bipolar depression.
The benefit of the AAPs is the serotonin receptor antagonism that occurs without blocking re-uptake. SSRIs might launch you into hypomania again.
