In reply to My family doc says Celexa is a mood stabilizer..., posted by Deneb on June 1, 2005, at 21:28:14
Celexa is an SSRI antidepressant, which can be mood stabilizing in that it flattens mood and makes it harder to feel anything at all. Thus, your mood is stabilized.
However, if we are talking about mood stabilizers as those used in bipolar disorder, Celexa is anything but! SSRIs are notorious for DESTABILIZING bipolars and are often avoided in patients who need a mood stabilizer! My advice: find a shrink and run from this doctor. You will never find relief with such an ignorant physician writing your scripts.
