> Hi utopizen,
> I have also heard that sometimes BP patients do NOT need an AD because of possibly creating mania. What do you think?I frankly haven't read up enough on bipolar to know. I am only social phobia and ADD-inattentive. I tend to have cycles of high productivity followed by cycles of low productivity in my school work, and my doctor is unsure whether it may be related to a bipolar condition.
I've taken many ADs and haven't felt any differently on them. I'm naturally happy, so my theory is my serotonin is fine, and it's just my GABA that needs tweaking. But I take Paxil 20mg (just started) just in case I'm wrong. I've tried Effexor, Wellbutrin, Celexa in the past.
I've never heard anyone on this board claim "this SSRI AD didn't work, but then I tried this AD, and it did!" so I'm skeptical since Celexa didn't do anything.
