Bipolar meds/anxiety-follow up from anxious mom

Posted by cb on August 14, 2001, at 18:07:03

My bipolar son has been very anxious and depressed. Dr has taken him off synthroid, neurontin, and klonopin. He is currently on lithobid (1200 mg) and zyprexa (10 mg) and Wellbutrin (400 mg). Previously he was on zoloft, paxil and celexa while taking depakote. His doctor is considering putting him back on an SSRI and upping his lithium. SSRIs have always made him manic before (while on the Depakote). Does anyone have experience with the SSRIs and lithium. I think someone who answered me before mentioned taking prozac and a mood stabilizer after having gotten manic from the SSRI? I would really appreciate input. We are a little nervous about the SSRI since the SSRI manias were aggressive and violent. Unfortunately, they seem to have been the only thing that has helped the depression. Thank you, thank you, thank you - anxious mom
