I am on a mood stablizer, depakote, no AD as they make my symptoms worse. 'World expert' I saw for a second opinion, said the idea in BPII is to stablize the highs, he recommended Depakote, then recommended lithium after 6 months. He felt Lamotrigine (new med) would be good for depression, but I had already tried it and had problems. He was emphatic about not using AD with BPII. This whole process is so trial and error. Good luck, ask lots of questions.
