You didn't miss out. After being on antidepressants for 5+ years with an unsure diagnosis my pdoc suggested cyclothymia. After research on cyclothymia I discovered and he confirmed that cy. is classified under bipolar2 and can be aggravated by antidepressants which are not stabilized with a mood stabilizer. Someone else could probably explain it better. But I have learned to stay on a low dose of antidepressants to avoid "cycling" which for me is feeling great one day and depressed the next. Hope this helps. I didn't mean to put a glitch in the discussion re. Lexapro. I take Klonopin with an AD to counteract any cycling. If Lexapro would necessitate more Klonopin (.5mg/day now) I won't switch.
