What about Provigil (modafinil)?

I suffer from a lack of energy, drive, interest, and motivation. I am not depressed, but I do suffer these things as they are features of bipolar depression.

At some point, if all else fails, you might have to start thinking bipolar with ADD.

Parnate + psychostimulant + Lamictal? If these drugs put you into a mania, it will be important to see whether it fits more of bipolar I or bipolar II. That will help determine whether or not lithium is indicated. Lithium has been known to be a good augmenter of Parnate, even in major depressive disorder.
