Yes I have taken or tried several of the mood stabilizers along with antidepressants. They helped me however abilify did nothing for me. Lamotrigine however did help me but there were some side effects I just couldn't live with, not weight gain or anything like that. i also took depakote which did help but killed my stomach. i have never really found anti depressants to be really helpful unless I was on a mood stabilizer. I hope this helps some and again I don't want to scare you by saying I had side effects i couldn't live with because that is myopinion and it does effect everyone differently. But from my experience it has helped I just need to not stop them like I do and then I end up crashing...you would think I would have learned by now...best wishes.
