I have BPII and I love my life. For me it is unmanageable without an antidepressant in addition to the mood stabilizer (lamictal). I was rapid cycling so I was also put on geodon. I have adhd as well and I take adderall. I also have a bipolar daughter. I have been stable on meds with relatively few hiccups since they found the magic combo when I was hospitalized 15 years ago. My doctor has told me that successful bipolar management means you address the mania and the depression. Lamictal on its own is a mood stabilizer but its the cymbalta I take that keeps the depression at bay.
