Keep in mind that meds that are activating usually don't decrease anxiety, so you might need something with it to help.

In rare cases amphetamines are used for treatment resistant depression. Not sure how good that would be with bi polar though. I have a friend who told me her diagnosis was bi polar I and this new pdoc gave her dexadrine. Maybe he changed her diagnosis though I dunno. She never asks questions just does what doc says. She's on a bunch of meds but has done very very well the last two years.
