> Quickly, Celexa might be a large part of your problem. It can be quite destabilizing for those with Bipolar Disorders (and in many cases for those without).
really? paxil and effexor were okay for me but celexa made me feel too stable.... like blunt emotions etc .. no highs no lows... also didnt totally make me euthymic .... so i switched back to parnate
btw i think i get tremors from low dose abilify... but they may also be from having taken zyprexa? i don't know... but they disappear when i take my first clonazepam dose, so it doesn't bother me

I'd seriously consider/reconsider Celexa, Ritalin, Klonopin, and Atenolol--with Celexa being 'most needs to go' and Atenolol least, though still perhaps 'to go'. However, quitting any of these will not be a walk in the park, so a very knowledgeable physician should help.
