Hi Mr. Scott,
You're definitely on the right track. When you are bipolar, AD's without a mood stabilizer will most likely cause rapid cycling. Getting on a mood stabilizer is the most important part. Once your cycling is under control, if you are still on the depressed side, your pdoc can then try adding something for the depression. Incidentally, every mood stabilizer I have been on has also taken away my anxiety.
Are there any other pdocs around you that have more experience with bipolar? Finding one who is really knowledgeable about the meds used to treat it will help a lot.
Good luck and keep us posted : )
