Just wanted to say that I also have bipolar. I have taken many of the mood stabilizers. I'm now on trileptal, which I like, but it has caused vision problems. (I'm off to the eye doctor tomorrow). It sounds like you have a good doctor. It is smart not to start you on an SSRI until you are on a mood stabilizer. I found that out the hard way about 6 years ago! When going through a bad depression, I was given an SSRI---and it caused mania, which is how I came to be diagnosed with BP.
By the way, I see you are in Raleigh. I live in Charlotte. Are you a student at NC State?
