In reply to My family doc says Celexa is a mood stabilizer..., posted by Deneb on June 1, 2005, at 21:28:14
It is a stabilizer of mood, but it is not a "mood stabilizer". I'm sure that your doctor knows that it is not a mood stabilizer by definition, but he probably just means that it will stabilize your mood.
I have had much success with Lexapro which is a more refined version of Celexa. I used to take 40 mg, but I now take 5 mg before bed. I take it before bed because it tends to dull my thinkning a little bit.
I only need 5 mg now since I started on Concerta and Toprol XL which both calm my agitation.
