Have you tried Lamictal (lamotrigine)? It is a mood stabilizer with anti-depressant properties. Therapeutic dose is considered to be 200mg, although you have to start low and go slow to avoid side effect known as Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
> I'm interested in any Bipolar persons' experiences with antidepressants and mood stabilizers. Which combinations and what amounts best worked for you. I'm trying to figure out what will work for me. I'm BPII depressed and haven't used anything besides prozac and trileptal which wasn't very effective....made me hypomanic.
