ADs typically cause rapid cycling, and SSRIs generally induce hypomania/mania! Lexapro is the best SSRI in my opinion, since it's the most potent, weight neutral and has the fewest side effects. Your Lamictal dose is on the lower end for BP stability. Your Seroquel dose is high and you're probably hungry and tired most of the time. The only AAP I'd take is Latuda. Latuda is also a miracle drug for BP depression and is weight neutral! Best of luck!
