Hi, I had been diagnosed by a pdoc at UCI in CA, with rapid cycling when I was 25 (1995)and what you describe here, I experienced also (rage, then cry) May I ask why you went off of the Celexa? That was the only other SSRI that worked for me in addition to other meds (no decreased sexual drive, no mania, no "foggy" feeling, and no weight gain)
Can you ask your doc if you can go back to taking Lithium at breakfast, lunch, and dinner-maybe at a lower dose?
Hang in there-we are here for you, please keep us posted.
Did this help? *hugs to you*
Kristen==============================================================================================I've been off Celexa for 2 months now,
and on Lithium 900mg which I take
all at bedtime. In the mornings I
am slow. I move into a state of extreme
irritability, and anger (ie nobody knows
how smart I am) After ripping papers to
shreads, the rage breaks, and turns
to tears. After this is apathy and
now 7:22 pm I'm happy.
My mood was more even when I took
lithium breakfast lunch and dinner. But
I simply could not concentrate. Will this
even out?
I'm new to this bipolar thing.
I just want to go back to how
I felt on Celexa.Any ideas?
