For some reason, antidepressants don't trigger any hypomania in me, at least not at the low doses I've always taken them. Right now I take Zoloft with Lamictal because it takes time for the Lamictal to work, and I was already on Zoloft and fairly confident it would keep me functional until we see how Lamictal works. Although antidepressants do mostly numb me out so they aren't a great fit in the long term. I think my doctor wants me in the long term to try to only be on the mood stabilizer, which I'm personally not sure about since I've had some bad depression and OCD.
