Most people with BP II spend most of the time is a state of depression and probably need antidepressants to treat it. The folks up at Harvard don't believe in using antidepressants for bipolar disorder, especially without mood stabilizers. Other research teams are much more likely to prescribe antidepressants. If you are bipolar, I think it is important to find a mood stabilizer that actually does something. If your MS is Neurontin, I doubt it is well suited to prevent mania or act as an antidepressant. I am impressed with Trileptal. The right mood stabilizers (more than one might be necessary) can act in concert with an antidepressant to bring the depression into remission while acting as a prophylactic against mania. This the goal.
