I meant to say that Prozac and Paxil made me manic, which is what most SSRI's do to people with bipolar disorder.

Here's another problem I'm having... I used to be able to do two things at once, like type about one thing and entertain another thought... but now when I try to do that... you get the mistake in the first line of my post above.

As I was typing about Prozac making me manic, I was also thinking that once I get an anti-depressant, I'll move on to treating the anxiety next.

But there's something wrong with my mind or brain, and instead of just thinking it separately like I used to, that thought invaded my main thought, and I typed "anxious" instead of "manic".

What the heck is going on here?

This is not cool.

you can post in the bipolar forum for suggestions. i forgot which one they recommend for bipolar. lamictal is one.

Good point.

Thanks.

oh geez,remeron made me gain the weight. munchies all the time. middle of the night snacks. I have bipolar. lamictal helps. also on seroquel. both helps really great.

I have spent many years now trying new things for depression. havent had much luck till they put me on effexor. taken at bedtime, it has helped me.

Have you tried seeing a psychiatrist, or are you getting your meds from a family doctor? I've been suffering from depression bordering on bi polar for several years now and it got to the point where my family doctor just didn't feel comfortable prescribing any other medications, so I went to see a psychiatrist. He's really helped me.
