Yes, done similar. Was taking an SSRI sample pack, ran out and went to get filled to find out it was more than $200 so I stopped...told counselor I was not going to take it if it was expensive. Next doctor visit I told him I was no longer taking it and he switched me to Buspar which is great for me. After I came off the SSRI and switched from Depo to lamictal everything improved. The SSRI was actually making things worse so it turned out to help me. I would not stop taking mood stabilizers with BP though. If it does not seem to help, tell your doctor and try something else.
