I've noticed that many people with BD are treatment-resistant, especially with regard to depression. Last winter I slammed into my usual winter depression. I asked my pdoc to look into ECT for me. She agreed, but suggested I give Pristiq a try first. I was truly amazed! Pristiq helped me through the winter, and did so without any weird side effects.
I've felt some of the seasonal depression returning lately. If it comes on full blast I am going to ask for ECT. I won't go through another winter of struggling to crawl through every hour.
Have you tried Lamictal? It mainly treats bipolar depression. Others on this thread have made really good suggestions about meds. Also, therapy is so helpful - and a pdoc who doesn't say what the one you saw said! Geez
