One other thought. I remember reading that SSRI antidepressants (like Lexapro) often cause manic episodes in people who are bipolar. The fact that upping your Lexapro seems to be leading to manic aspects mixed with your depression seems to go along with that expectation. I definitely think you should talk to your pdoc about this, if you can. There may be other meds that work better for treating depression within bipolar, which is caused by different biological factors than unipolar depression.
