Are antidepressants right for someone with Bipolar

Posted by JackD on December 18, 2001, at 17:20:28

I am really starting to think I have some kind of mood disorder... Every antidepressant I try works, and often works well for a while and then starts slowly making me more depressed than I was to begin with! Judging from my fast and often robust antidepressant response, along with my history of having been made hypomanic by Wellbutrin, I fear I have bipolar tendencies. I am now trying to add in Lithium 600mg a day to my 60mg a day of Remeron. Are bipolars doomed to experience mood anomolies on AD's? Should I be on JUST a mood stabilizer? Should I be on a mood stabilizer, and THEN introduce an AD slowly? God, I'm starting to feel some of the frustrations you guys on this site are complaining about!
