Eric,
This is not true. For people with bipolar and BPD, SSRIs can send you into mania or an agitated state which is exactly what's happened to me. If you google "Prozac made me panic" you will find that many people have had this reaction. It's not the norm, but it happens. Again I said Zoloft, but that was a typo, I meant Prozac was the most recent ssri. And I have been off the previous Celexa and Zoloft for about 3 months. And my panic was not this bad even off of those two. I was anxious, irritable, and depressed, but none of this crazy constant panic anxiety. This is different. I know it sounds crazy, but it's the truth of my experience.
I also started Lamictal a couple days ago and it's made my panic worse also, I have been up since 2 am with a sense of a kind of burning sensation in my limbs. Finally broke and took an Ativan. Going to try to talk to my doc today. Sent her a major distress call. Called parents, brother, doctor, now going to email Naturopath. Had to tell professor won't be coming into class today. Total nightmare. I hate my life, and I hate this condition. I just want to feel like a normal human being and get a job and finish school and not be a burden on everyone.
