All meds effect everyone differently, but I think the vast majority of people with Bipolar Disorder (especially BP1) I see they get manic with antidepressants. I was manic most of my youth on SSRIs, Welbutrin was a little better but caused a major increase in anxiety. This was all before my bipolar 1 diagnosis.

Then I was put on Zyprexa and they switched me from Welbutrin to Lamictal, which is amazing!! It's a mood stabalizer, but totally pulled me out of a major depression. I have lots of mixed episodes, so I need the Zyprexa/Lamictal combo.

I hope you got some sleep. Maybe ask about Lamictal?
