hi
antidepressants can trigger a mania in a bipolar person. if you dont already have a disposition for bipolar, it isnt going to create it. lamictal stabilizes bipolar moods so that is why you feel great now because it stabilized you. the antidepressants can be tricky cause it is hard to tell which ones will trigger and which ones dont. like zoloft, within a couple weeks, triggered the worst mania i had. i was hallucinating, not eating or sleeping. it was awful. but i can take wellbutrin no problem. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
