I went and got anti-d for the depression. Since feeling good is feeling good, who reports that? I've no idea what hypo feels like. The AD sent me on a spin.
Get a AD ssri from your GP or pdoc for depression. If it drives you hypo, then you'll need a stabilizer.

This describes my experience almost to a tee. Depression followed by hypomania followed by a period of stability. I would be prescribed SNRI's and get "better," go hypomanic and stop the meds, and then get stable for a month or two before plunging back into depression. So I'd suggest asking for a stabilizer, or go with lamotrigine, which has both anti-depressant and stabilizing properties.
