In reply to meds for agitated depression?, posted by Spriggy on February 5, 2005, at 10:56:33
hey! The reason I recommend checking up on the short list of BP approved meds is that odd reactions to SSRIS and or hypomania/mania are more common in BP disorder; before trying out a tricyclic, which is more likely to cause such a reaction and/or cause, exacerbate a full-blown psychosis, it may be wise to try something like Effexor with a mood-lifting mood-stablizer like lamictal. Good luck!
