Thats a difficult combo. You could treat the anxiety and the hypomania with something like depakote, but the depression would be an issue.
You could see if your doc is one that belives in trying small doses of SSRIs for BP depression. Some do, some dont.
I can see why youre considering ECT though. Id personally try the AAPs first.
Or you could ask about nefazodone if youre afraid of the dopamine antagonism..
