I am on 3 mood stabilisers. I have as required chill pills too. I dont use em.
I still have hypomania/mania and depression. Some short but very intense suicide fuelled lows and occassional real elated times both good and bad.
WHY?
I am medicated now. They do some slight work in keeping some balance but I do still go real low. Surely, there is something not right here?
Rapid cycling.
I want to know if there are any other diagnosed manic depresive/bipolar people here who experience simialr to me.
Thanks
What is the point? To strive and make a difference and feel the rewards.

Same here. You need to keep a journal and tell your docs. It may take a lot more tweaking, trying diff meds and does. It will ALWAYS be there to some extent which is why I am doing CBT - helps you know when lows/highs on there way, to try and stop them altogether or to make the shorter and less deep.
Dont give up, there is still a lot that is unknown that is why more research is vital.

I'm similar, tweak tweak away but nothing so far has worked perfectly. I've decided to drop all my meds at the moment and see how I go - risky I know- but i've been feeling fine and I was just way too fed up of the side effects.
I'm interested in trying other therapies - I think CBT is the only one i've not tried so far - hoping to get some help when I visit the psych next week.
I don't think drugs alone are the answer on their own, a cocktail of those that work best for you individually and therapy and support, and good friends who can make you laugh and see you through the highs and lows seem to help best.
