I was always under the notion that they only prescribe anti-d's with mood stabilizers if you are stable. Anti-d's can have undesirable effects on someone who has bp.

Good luck! ((Hugs!))

Confusedinmicon hit the nail on the head. Whenever someone is diagnosed with BP Disorder and put on an antidepressant, they need a mood stablizer along with it because it can really mess with you just being on an antidepressant.
