I would try Wellbutrin. Its also marketed as
Zyban to help people quit smoking. For a lot
of people it has the effect you mentioned. It
may be used by a bipolar patient as an adjunct
medicine to mood stablizers. This is a very
common anti-depressant used by pdocs for bipolar,
although I don't know the exact historical roots
for this.-John
