> 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.
I have a BPD and not bipolar disorder, so I guess it doesn't matter if I don't take a real mood stabilizer. My moods are still very volatile at times. I think overall there is less anxiety...but this kind of works against me sometimes...I don't feel as much motivation to get things started. My emotions still get very intense, but I guess meds aren't supposed to control emotions. :-) It is a little odd that I'm *much* more up and down now than before the Celexa, but then again it probably has more to do with environmental factors.
