Now days it's much more common for Pdocs to know some bipolar people can't tolerate antidepressants even with a mood stabilizer. But this one he was just a pusher.

Hi @
Nammu. My hospitalizations did not stop until the inclusion of antidepressants in my mixes stopped. It's no joke that some of us can not take them. Even Lamictal, at high doses, seems to be too activating for me. Lamictal is the only medication I continue to take, at a low dose, that I regard as an antidepressant, and yes, I know that it is officially regarded as a moodstabilizer.
I am sorry you also had to wait so long for this issue to be accepted.
