Nic,
Antidepressants without a good mood stablizer like lithium, depakote, or tegretol is a no-no for bipolar folks. It makes you manicky. Have you ever been on a ms? It really can be a lifesaver.KarenK

> Got started on Serzone and ativan and worked well but seemed to need more ativan as time went in order to help with the panic attacks.

> Currently still on Serzone plus Klonopin.
