Some schools of thought think the SSRIs are bad for bipolars because they may induce mania.
My mother is bipolar, however, and has been on Paxil for a decade.
Her combo is Lamictal, Paxil and Xanax as needed. As it turns out my mom is much more tolerant of mania than she is depression.
She tried all the meds you indicated in her previous thread.
For sleep she takes temazepam. I don't know anything about bipolar disorder and antihistamines.
