Yeah, taurine is can be good for rapid cycling, and other people who respond well to anticonvulsants.
Vitamin C (in several gram doses) has been used for bipolar, but in my experience it mixes terrably with conventional mood stabalizers.
Some find theanine usefull.
Magnesium is good, it can hold back mania. Too much can make me depressed.
I find ginger is a very good one. It is calming, and has benzodiazapine like properties.I have heard of ginger being used in bipolar.
