Have you ever attempted using a stimulant med? Some people with BP are able to use then with stabilizing meds on board.

Wanted to respond, as your current status sounds very frustrating.
I hope you feel better soon!

Unfortunately I can't take stimulants anymore because I have a history of abusing them. I have to find other means of staying awake these days. They seemed to cause mania for me before I stopped them anyway.
