mood stabilizer with or before the ssri?
having tried both,i can say that i think the depakote was better for the 'lift off' effect of the ssri, in my case lexapro.....for me the 'lift off' is actually like someone turning on bright lights in a dark room while you are sleeping
you might get some info from dr.amen's 'brain place. com' about the inital effects of ssri's in some people
i do know that in the beginning of ssri's it was encouraged to prescribe _azepams with them for the start-up period, and i have been told it is still common pracitce in parts of europe
best,
