So what do you take for depression?

Actually, he's really concerned about putting me on antidepressants b/c I'm so prone to mania... so right now, just wellbutrin 150mgs. I feel I really need something more, though, but not sure how to convince him. Thanks for the advice-- I'll see if he's open to any of it!
