SSRIs and Bipolar Disorder: A Question

I can't take ssri I feel nothing

SSRIs and other antidepressants can be used with mood stabilizers. As long as your not taking an antidepressant by itself and your dosages are correct, it should not cause mania

Hmm that’s very surprising actually. My doctors have always refused to give me any antidepressants until I was on a good mood stabilizer because I would have awfulll and extreme rapid cycling and mania

Okay cool! I guess it must depend on the person then!

I have bipolar and I'm taking ssri it doesn't cause a mania. What can cause mania is that your dose is not enough or its not for you also antidepressants can cause mania. I stay away from all antidepressants and adjust my doses on ssri if needed.

My MIL has bipolar not sure which type but she's on an ssrri and doesn't get mania
