Tommy,
Just my opinion here of course... I have antidepressant induced manias as well and i believe it is a new subclass of bipolar... I think the current thinking is to treat them with mood stabilizers a priori.. and then consider bringin in other stuff... I'm not sure about ur anxiety, but ive heard lots of anecdotal evidence claiming that lamotrigine helps with anxiety.. which, in my opinion once again, is often the manifestation of some sort of hypomanic episode in bipolars... anywayz, ur defiantely not alone in this.. good luck
