I was recently diagnosed with BP 2 BECAUSE of my experience with Lexapro.
Lexapro was the med from Hades for me.
It slung me into the weirdest cycling state of depression/anxiety/euphoria/dyshoric mania/hallucinations I could even describe.
TO me, Lexapro was what I imagine being on a bad acid trip would be like.
So nope, for this BP 2 girl it was NOT for me.
And according to the pdoc I saw, he claims if you are bp you should not take anything that directly messes with seratonin. I don't know if that's just his opinion or fact but he was pretty adamite about it.
