Do I need an SSRI?

Posted by allisonfly on May 31, 2010, at 7:39:38

Just wondering if you all had thoughts on this? I am bipolar, 10 + years. I have been most stable on Abilify, lithium, and Lexapro. Went off the Lexapro in fall 2009 b/c it was making me sleepy while driving. That is much better now. I had some rocky periods, but got off the Lexapro ok. Just recently tried to go off Abilify b/c my sugar was going up. Not so successful--now I am rapid cycling, mixed states, and all that goes with that. I am in a partial program right now.
But I notice that my mind seems to get stuck on certain anxiety provoking things and then I go downhill from there. I just can't seem to let go of these things despite trying to talk to myself, etc. I did put in a call to my pdoc but am wondering if I really do need an SSRI. Has anyone had this kind of problem and did an SSRI help?
Thanks in advance!
