Do Antidepressants worked for bipolar 2?

Posted by rovers95 on August 21, 2019, at 6:28:33

So I fit the criteria for bipolar 2. In fact it seems all I've been doing since 2005 is chasing hypomania...and this has finally caught up with me.
Anyway, all of light box, sleep deprivation, and amitriptyline have made me unstable. But otherwise I am depressed, and I'll do anything to avoid that. I took a small dose of abilify (1mg) last night and I feel like I used to pre 2005..but I only slept 4 hours so most probably heading towards hypomania.
If I start to take a mood stabiliser ie lamotrigine, will I then be able to handle an AD (thinking wellbutrin and or abilify)? I really don't want to come crashing down after all this.
