I would NOT under any circumstances, reading the literature, start an SSRI, SNRI unless you are severely severely depressed and have exhausted all other avenues. Some psychiatrists still prescribe them with a
mood stabilizer but the research is indicating they are causing rapid cycling in people with bipolar. Without a mood stabilizer they can flip you into hypomania or mania. But don't take my word. If you google antidepressants rapid cycling you'll find a whole host of articles.
