These mood swings I read about in different posts sound a little like what I go thru on antidepressants. When I first started taking them I would quit within a couple of days due to a sort of hypemania. I due suffer from panic disorder. Then I tried Celexa and although I could tolerate better than the rest I eventually ended up very depressed after the 2nd month. The first 2 months I felt happy,peaceful then the 3rd month I went downhill. Whether this was due to the weight gain and being tired all the time or if the drug itself. What would be indicators of needing a mood stabilizer and what should I tell my Pdoc about this? I am currently just taking BuSpar which is calming but not sedating to the point I want to quit it. The doc wants to start me on Zoloft in a week along with the BuSpar. I swore I would never take an AD again due to the depression I felt on them. Any advice? Can you still have panic disorder and mood disorder too? What would a good mood stabilizer be for someone who doesn't want to gain anymore weight. Are they worse for weight gain than antidepressants?
