Hello Shery, This is only my opinion as I was diagnosed with depression a few months ago,and the pdoc thought I may be bipolar so she has given me a mood stabilizer and to keep a diary of my moods. AD's can bring on a mania. Is it a pdoc or a regular doc that you are seeing. I hope the treatment works for you. I'm on my 2nd AD in 4 months mainly because I felt no difference on the first one. I hope everything works out for you. You can always get a second opinion If you are not happy . Best wishes.
