I take a low dose of Topamax (25mg/day) as a mood stabiliser in conjunction with Cymbalta for mild Bipolar II. It's been a real help for me - evened me out so that the lows and highs are much more manageable.
I'm mostly depressive with short and agitated manic periods lasting a week or less.
I have also found that my appetite has been supressed to what I'd consider "normal" and no longer feel the bottomless hunger that antidepressants induce in me. I am v-e-r-y slowly losing some weight, and more importantly, feel well enough to resume regular exercise.
Good luck,
partlycloudy
