> I am also Bipolar II (rapid cycler). You should probably not be taking Prozac if you are BP II. Antidepressants exacerbate the mood swings.
depends on the antidepressant... strong serotonergic effects, like celexa, tend to cause mood stability ... in my case, far too much mood stability
anyways, for me i've found low dose zyprexa and abilify work fine for mood stability, with no side effects
> I take atypical antipsychotics and they help considerably in stabilizing my mood. They also help in my interactions with people (I avoid confrontations).hmmm... i think i need something that will encourage me to seek confrontations
