I can't tell from your post if your mood is cycling between mild and major depression or if you are going hypomanic as well. If it's just depression an anti-d may do the trick. The newer anti-d's like wellbutrin tend to be better for people diagnosed in comparison to SSRI anti-d's.
Yesterday I was right at the edge of hypomanic but didn't go over. I'm not noticing mild depression, just a kind of normal feeling then instantly into major depression. This started when I first went off Prozac on and the Lamictal, but it seems like the depression gets worse and happens more often in direct relation to the hypomanic getting better. Today I was bouncing back and forth so rapidly, I may as well have been depressed the whole time. I've been putting off calling my doctor because I thought it might settle down. wrong..I'm hoping the Wellbutrin and the increase in Lamictal will keep me from having the hypomanic/anxiety episodes I had with the Prozac. Fingers crossed and thanks for your help
