In reply to CAN SSRI's CAUSE BIPOLAR TO SHOW UP OR JUST SIDE A, posted by tboybmx on July 24, 2008, at 15:21:00
In my personal experience, SSRI's and SSNI's had horrible effects on me and did absolutely no good.
Nardil certainly helped the depression, but put me in a permanent hypomanic state and with serious side effects. Nevertheless, I stayed on it for almost two years, because the AD effect was so good.
I was finally diagnosed Bipolar II and I'm now titrating up on Lamictal. I don't know how much good it is doing or will do, but at least I'm not having any side-effects.
