If You're Really Bipolar... Posted: 05-29-07 22:55pm
as opposed to depressed or just a moody
teenager or young adult, they'd put you on
a mood stabilizer - Depakote, Neurontin,
Lamictal, Topamax, etc. Wellbutrin is an
antidepressant (not an ssri but it does
have some of those qualities.)
Antidepressants are generally not given to
people with bipolar d/o because it could
activate a manic episode. (But you never
know, some doctors will throw pretty much
anything at anyone.)
