The SNRIs work the best and rarely poop out. Cymbalta is by far my favorite one!
Lamictal was the first med for BP I was put on, and it gave me a rash.

Abilify made me almost suicidally depressed within 3 weeks.

Zoloft is my AD, and I am very happy with it. I was on Lexapro for about 2 years very happily before it pooped out on me, and I need a SSRI because I take that primarily for my OCD and not the bipolar.

Thanks for your response though!!
