hi 5f,
there is some question if borderline is a form of bipolar depression. i know i am not as passionate as you seem to be when i'm depressed. i don't mean that its a bad thing, but you seem very stressed out at the same time, which make me think bipolar could be an issue for you. I know you've been around a while so maybe you've had people tell you various things before, i can't remember sorry.
have you ever tried lamotrigine or even lithium?
antidepressants may not work well for bipolar depression - although modafinil is actually one that might be better. often they can make depression worse, or trigger mania.
have you a look at http://www.psycheducation.org/index.html and the 'soft bipolar' page, the checklist.
hope things work out with your kid.
