Just so you know, if you have bipolar and take a mood stabilizer, like lamictal, then you can probably have an antideressant along with it. I take lamictal (in generic - lamotrigine) and an antidepressant, Emsam which is an older drug, an MAOI. I also take other things - Antipsychotic - Abilify to bump up the antidepressant, Ambien (hypnotic) and Klonopin (benzodiazopine) for sleep.

Many people become depressed over their weight. I do want to warn you that many psych medications, including antidepressants and some mood stabilizers can cause weight gain. I have taken Lamictal for years with no weight gain associated with it.
