I am bi-polar and depression is prevailant lately with mine.  I looked at the medications and what they help most and ambilfy is used to improve sleep and slow down maniac episodes.  I am taking lamactical and I have recently increased it and I am beginning to see my depression beginning to go away.  I am beginning to take part in everyday activities and no longer spend my days on the couch.  Talk to your doctor about it.
