> > My son, who is bipolar, also had great responses to SSRIs initially. But they quickly lost effectiveness and he ended up getting manic or hypomanic while on them - especially as the doses were increased in an effort to improve things - and this led to more rages and substance abuse. So my advice (for what it's worth!) is to be careful when upping the SSRI doses.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll try to monitor how the increase goes, if that's what his doc advises on monday.
