I think most doctors do recommend taking a mood stabilizer with an antidepressant to lower the risk of becoming hypomanic. However, in my case I haven't been anywhere near hypomanic for 2 years and would be willing to take the risk. I would rather be hypomanic than depressed anyway as it is much easier to treat in most cases! I have tried about 8 AD's whilst on various mood stabilizers and would be curious to try an AD without.
