So if SSRIs help PMS & PMDD, but are bad for bipolar, what do you do? I would assume take a stabilizer with an SSRI, but I have had some bad reactions with stabilizers (making me worse).
I am re-trying lamictal, but staying at a low dose. I have also started a low dose of Celexa & Synthroid along with my Xanax. Because it seems like I get worse as I increase dosage with a lot of medication trials, I was going to stay on the low doses for a while. (it has been about 4 weeks)
I have entered hormone hell (well I hope it is from my hormone shift). I have been crying, miserable, wanting to die, etc. I just starting having some light bleeding, and usually it is my heavy day where it eases up, but this is really bad.
Does anyone just take or increase an SSRI for part of the month?
