What should I do regarding an anti depressant

HEy guys Ive been on lamictal for a while now and invega and ive been doing pretty good, Id say about 70 percent of where I feel I should be. I still feel a lil sad at times but overall Im in a constructive mindset. My therapis talked about adding an anti depressent in the future if I want so im wondering which one works for yall? I dont want one with sexual side effects(negative) she recommended wellbutrin. How should I feel on this if I decide to take it?

Sorry I hit enter too quickly, Invega is a med used for schzophrenia, it the person suggesting wellbutrin a therapist or a psychiatrist. You med choices may be different because of your diagnosis, as well, I know for myself, I have to do some hard work as well to keep from getting into a depression by doing self care and I go to a support group.
It's important that you are really active in your wellness, my depression has gone down dramatically but it's still there sometimes, I'm Bipolar2.

Are you bipolar? Lamactil is generally given for that, and at what dose are you at? Those are really important questions to ask before I could answer you :)
