Hi.
How are you feeling now?
What medications are you currently taking?
Lexapro, Effexor, and Cymbalta are all potent serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It is possible that you will react badly to any drug with this property. Wellbutrin is probably the drug most often chosen in a situation such as yours if mood stabilizers alone do not produce an adequate response.
