I think that you have the type of bipolar disorder that Trileptal would help treat. You might still need an antidepressant, but not a SSRI. I don't know why, but I don't see people having manic reactions to SNRIs as readily as they do to SSRIs.
In order to stay away from antidepressants, you can begin to think about combining Trileptal, Lamictal, and Abilify. If Abilify produces marked akathisia, Geodon might be a good replacement to help prevent mania and promote improvements in depression. You can also switch from Trileptal to lithium if necessary.
How are you doing?
