Lamictal - One of the best "antidepressants" for me. However, too much can push me the opposite direction. I need to take smaller doses with other bipolar meds. Little increases can be quite helpful.

Seroquel - The XR has been best, but regular works, too. This a funny med in that sometimes increasing it helps with my depression and sometimes decreasing it does. It depends on the depression symptoms. For example, for very low energy ones, decreasing is better.

Latuda - A small dose in the past seemed helpful.

Antidepressants have been off the table for me for years. Again and again they did nothing good.
