As long as the antidepressant is being balanced with a mood stabilizer or something else it is okay and oftentimes necessary. I am always on Lamictal 150 MG. When I am cycling into hypo/mania I add Seroquel. When I start to move into depression, I gradually get off the Seroquel and then add in Lexapro. But the Lamictal is always there.
