>This is not true. For people with bipolar and BPD, SSRIs can send you into mania or an agitated state which is exactly what's happened to me
Tell me the timeline of exactly what happened. It is not typical that a single dose of antidepressant would send one into a manic state. Everytime that I've been on antidepressant and it caused a manic switch, it took a week or two.
>I meant Prozac was the most recent ssri.
How long have you been taking the Prozac?
If you are bipolar, why are you taking all these antidepressants without being on a mood stabilizer? You stated Lithium Orotate helped you-I don't see why Lithium Carbonate wouldn't work for you.
>I also started Lamictal a couple days ago and it's made my panic worse also,
Why Lamictal instead of Lithium? Lamictal can be very activating-it made my panic symptoms worse.
