Was horribly horribly depressed, fits of tearfulness crying..suicidal thoughts....went to get some help since i was going to lose my job due to me never wanting to leave my house. I was perscribed celexa just like you..and it made me EXTREAMLY manic...like..spending thousands..i felt invincible..unstoppable and happy...but i would snap at the blink of an eye. I told my pdoc and she said that anti depressants can cause mania in folks with bipolar...so she prescribed a mood stabilizer (abilify) that helped alot. I was happy...maybe a tad hypomanic..for a long time..but "happy"...for the most part...accept ..i couldnt...cry..or feel..really...so..like 2 weeks ago i had strep throat...followed by stomach flu...and it caused me to go off meds...i don't know how i feel about it...i do know however..that meds made a huge difference...and now i just have to decide whats best...(no feelings or anxiety)...and maybe (being a miserable ***** to my family or severing all contact with the outside world)...not much of a choice if you ask me
