Well, you went from being on two antidepressants to being on two mood stabilizers, so it makes a lot of sense the way you are feeling right now.
I think with bipolar there seems to be a reluctance by some doctors to use an AD because fear of mania or cycling. But the fact is depression is a big part of bipolar disorder. I think it would make more sense to add a low dose ssri to the lithium. The seroquel could be reduced or even eliminated when you get your lithium levels right.
