Hi, I'm also BPII, and had trouble with side effects from mood stabilizers. I couldn't even tolerate them long enough to get any benefit. I finally got tired of trying one after another and just decided to stay on an AD alone. I'm on a low dose. It has worked out OK for me. I know they say you'll go manic from antidepressant monotherapy, but it hasn't been the case. My hypomania isn't any worse. It's seasonal, fairly predictable, and I've been able to manage it.
