I think there are exceptions to the observation that a bipolar person will become manic on an AD. I had been one time in the past on the following combo of meds all at the same time. This list is Fluoxetine, Buprorion, Amphetamine Salts (Adderal), and Levothyroxine. All of them have the effect of a stimulant to different degrees, besides the Fluoxetine and Bupropione being ADs. The Levothyroxine is normally used to treat hypothyroidism. I did not become manic. I did eventually get out of my depression.
I agree, in order to know what your pdoc thinks, it's best to ask him.

I have seen this, in some situations, as well.
