>She said my experience on prozac sounded slightly below hypomanic and she said a lot of times when people have mood stability issues drugs stop working for them and don't "hold their moods."
Well maybe, but it sounds rather like a case of 'blame the patient' rather than admit that the drugs aren't always that great. You've not mentioned having hypomanic symptoms on any other antidepressants.
If I were you, I would want to try nortriptyline or desipramine. The initial dose should be low and you should increase gradually. If you see your pdoc regularly she will be able to monitor for hypomanic symptoms, although I doubt that you will have any.
