> Awhile ago buried in a thread that I have not been able to find it in going through the archives, someone (I think it might have been JohnX2 or Fachad) said that for people with BiPolar2, you should either be on an AD first and then add a Mood Stabilizer or the other way around - have the Mood Stabilizer aboard (that's how the person phrased it - they used the word "aboard") and then add the AD.

Ideally, start with decent dose of mood stabilizer and slowly add on
an AD.
I don't have much experience with adding mood stabilizers on after
the AD. But I see no reason why they wouldn't work. You may find you
need to alter your AD regimen in response to the mood stabilizer result.
Take it easy,
