is the treatment for it that much different to major depressive disorder (my current diagnosis)?

are the meds similar etc? because ive just been taken off anti-depressants due to tolerance build up. would they just put me on more anti-depressants? or another type of meds? i get the feeling that i will be put on meds immediatly, as that was the plan for when i came off these ones anyway.

ive just started CBT aswell, is that the right type of therapy for bipolar?
im sorry im a bit naive when it comes to this...

thanks for replying everyone, i really appreciate it
