In reply to Am I Bi-Polar ... or is Lexapro causing symptoms, posted by Temmie on October 12, 2003, at 14:08:22
Hey Temmie,
From other posts of yours that I've read I remember that you sounded a lot like me (Bipolar II, un-dx'd for MANY years) before I got on the right track with my meds. In my personal case, I am violently incompatible with SSRI's. It doesn't surprise me that you are having so much trouble with Lexapro (even though Lex is supposed to hav the lowest instance of SE's of any SSRI.) I would suggest that you might want to change up your game plan a bit. If you are bipolar, the SSRI could indeed be contributing to your racing thoughts, etc. I'm so sorry you're going through such a hard time. I know all too well the agony caused by sleeplessness. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.
Sabina
