Oh, dear. Well, my parent is bipolar. But the docs go back and forth on whether this makes me bipolar simply due to having a first-degree relative who has it. I guess mood reactivity would be refer to my mood changing out of proportion to the precipitating event.
I have responded in the past to a combo of prozac+clomipramine (weird, I know) as well as desipramine. Hard for me to tolerate nortriptyline, could not tolerate protriptyline.
