It's great you are feeling better, just be careful. The unfortunate thing is that antidepressants can trigger mania, so be careful about HOW good you start to feel. I think I've read that especially with Wellbutrin it's somewhat stimulating, and can cause anxiety, irritability, or even rage in people. A mood stabilizer would probably help to combat that.

I'm not telling you to get back on one, but just to be cautious, and out of curiousity, is Depakote the only mood stabilizer you have tried or what others have you been on? I like to hear about people's experiences on different meds.

I was on Lithium for about seven months, and then Depakote the nine months after that. Lithium was basically my savior drug, but it basically fried my short term memory.
