To my knowledge, yes, an AD can push someone with BP into mania. You should ask exactly why you were prescribed this med and express your fears about taking it. If you don't her reason or something and just don't want to take it, ask her to write for something else, like a mood stabilizer or antiseizure med (since they are also prescribed for their mood stabilizing effects). I hope you find an answer soon.
Thanks for this!
