Hi:
It sounds to me like you need some stronger med., such as Seroquel, Zyprexa and other atypical med, because there is no positive result from Depakote, Topamax and Lamical. However, Lamictal may start to kick in once the dosage increase.

In Bipolar, normally in my knowledge, the night-time is to be 'fairly good moods' because there is med. build-up from the morning and afternoon med. regimen. Then, it makes me feel 'odd' on your nightly moods - irritable/anger spell at night.
Seroquel, one of the weakest/mildest atypical meds. has a positive effect on Anxiety along with anger/rage aspects. However, everybody reacts differely on this med., then I can not be sure, ... but in general, if other mood-stabilizers fail, then atypical med. might be a good choice. Also, it seems you have 'rapid cycler,' as reading your moods cycles quite often.
H.G.
