Hi Janelle. Bipolars should be put on an mood stabilizer first then after you are stable an anti-depressant can be added. If you start the anti-depressant first you risk going into a manic phase. Dr. Goldberg personally told me that he prefers his bipolar patients to be on 2 different mood stabilizers before adding an anti-depressant. Anti-depressants can really wreck havoc with our moods.
